News of Food Addiction Forum

Hello,

Everyone can call me Bee. I'm here because I've struggled with food all my life. Right now I am 200 pounds. I am here because I would like to talk with other people who understand what it is like to be like this! I love all foods but sugar and starchy foods seem to trigger binges the most. The least I have weighed in my adult life was 155: and I got there by ...

Hello, my name is Tia and I'm a 32 y.o single woman that never had a weight problem until less than 10 yrs ago due to my food addiction. Spent my ENTIRE life eating whatever I wanted until it caught up to me. I am a glutton and I have a hard time resisting most foods, good and bad. But of course I crave carbs and sugars the most. I also have an issue with ...

When I was younger a lot of stuff happened which contributed to me being diagnosed as depressed. I hated the thought of anti depressants and in the end I began to self medicate with food.

I recently topped the scales at over 20 stone.

My life is on track, I am in a good relationship and have been for almost 2 years, I have lost two stone and although some of the issues which arose ...

I desperately need advice. My mother is over age 60 and obese. Like many American women, she struggled with her weight through life, but nothing like this before. She has given up on herself, she is depressed, she can barely walk, her health is crumbling rapidly, and any attempt our family makes to ask her about it ends in her crying and acting like we're abusing her.

She fully admits that she is an addict ...

Hi everyone!

I'm new here and looking for some support kicking a very severe sugar addiction. I'm sure this is something a lot of people can relate to at least on some level.

I am stopping sugar intake altogether starting tomorrow and I know it's going to be really tough for me. My mum and I are doing it together but I am far more dependent than she is and both of us have very ...

I'm 16 years old & I'm a female.

I tell my mom everything. She's my best friend. We tell each other absolutely everything. I'm just not sure how to tell her about this.
There's a huge back story to this, but I think it's mostly due to stress.
One year I lost 6 people who were very close to me within 5 months. I don't talk to one of my brothers anymore because he uses/makes ...

New here and wondering if food addiction could be my problem. If you don't mind reading this I'd appreciate any insight. Since I'm new to this so I'm just going to put it out there **this might contain triggers**.

I'm a 36 year old female,and am significantly overweight. I've been increasingly overweight since my 20's. I've tried diets and exercise programs but I always manage to put back on everything I've lost and then some. ...

I am wondering if its possible to have a food an hoarding problem.

this ironically is not being asked for myself it is actually being asked for my mother.

I live with my mom...and even though she does not care to admit that she has issues of her own..like I do.

she does seem to be a hoarder.

the cubards in our kitchen are completly full all the time! if you were to take all ...

I didn't really know what category to put this into but I need help.

I know how lame it sounds to say "hey, I'm addicted to caffeine". I almost wish - almost - that it was something more believable like Diazepam or Morphine or Alcohol, where people accept it more. But it's caffeine, and people don't really accept it as a serious addiction, even though it is.

Because of this, I have told none of ...

Hello everyone. This is my first post on this forum. I decided to post here under Addiction rather than Binge Eating because, well, the latter is the symptom of the former, and I don't binge so much as find myself desiring a food so much I can't avoid it. So, yeah, I'm addicted to food.

I don't ...
