News of Food Addiction Forum

My name is Kamryn, I'm 16, and I have a crippling addiction to food. It started when I was probably about 8 years old, when I would sneak into my family's kitchen, early in the morning every day, and steal Hershey kisses from a giant jar my parents had. From there, my food addiction arose. I suspect it's because I've not lived in the best conditions in my life and my family has been torn ...

Hi guys,
I am new to this site, but I have decided to keep a binge eating recovery journal. Here are a few facts about myself:
1. I am 21 years old
2. I am a third year at an Ivy league college
3. I used to swim (not on a team though haha)
4. I am currently about 135 pounds (and 5'1) but I eat. A. Lot. (I am naturally about 107 pounds if ...

Granted my parents were those that told me to clean my plate and tempted me to finish things by giving food as a reward, but today I dawned on something I hadn't fully realized before.

Long story short, I had to change my diet because of an intestinal issue that would lead to me being hooked up to medical equipment for the rest of my life if I didn't take a step back now. I'm ...

Hello!

I need help. I don't know what this is.
Today I ate over 3300kcal. I did not exercise, heck I didn't even leave the house. I'm 5'7 (170cm) and roughly 132lbs (60kg). I go for daily walks, weight lifting four times a week and dance twice a week.
In general I follow a high carb, low fat plant based style of eating with occasional high fat foods. Medium amount of sodium, almost no added ...

I'm so ready to make a change in my life and my mind. I am with no doubts in my mind a food addict. I remember being 8 or 9 and asking my mom for a chicken sandwich at McDonalds after I finished my entire happy meal. I've dreamed of that moment. I've thought about it over and over. It's the moment I believe, started a downward spiral. I remember being 16 and walking to ...

I have a problem with sugar and with flour or any kind of grain really. I'll eat myself sick every time.

I couple years ago I decided to just cut out all refined sugars and all grains from my diet. Over a few months I went down to a healthy weight with no added exercise at all. Unfortunately over the next couple years I went off the diet and gained it back.

I just ended ...

Hey Guys,

Long story short I'm a food addict! It is so annoying! The thing that sucks is I know how to beat addiction! Well not all addictiions are the same I guess. I hate eating sometimes! Hell I'm not even hungry and I don't even want anything to eat and its like my brain wills my car steering wheel into the store and I just find myself buying crap I don't even want! Like ...

Ever since I was a young girl I have been struggling to lose weight. My mom always felt I was overweight and so did my doctors. I am now 24 and 270 ibs and going up. I've always had disordered eating. I would lie about my food habits and hide food in my room to snack on. I have always prided myself on being someone who never did drugs or got into alcohol. I still ...

I know I'm wrong, dead wrong! But I feel I can't get enough. For instance, I'll buy a whole pack of cheese, say to myself I'll eat just a little and most times it's gone before or by the next day. Same with the chocolate. Of course I know it's not good for you, especially your heart (I have diastolic congestive heart failure), but I feel I don't care. I mean, maybe I do care ...

Hi everyone,

I am addicted to chocolate. I just love it. I eat more than one bar (Milka) of chocolate every day. One bar by the way takes less than 5 minutes to be eaten. I just dont take one piece - I take the whole thing at once. I am not "big" by the way - don't know why. I generally eat a lot more than other people do (2 plates when other people ...
