Hey all I have not been here because I thought I had my eating under control well I was wrong. I really can't describe what is going on in my life right now. Most part things are good. I broke my foot about three weeks ago but walking on it now with pain. I am back to the not eating meals but just junk all day long. I don't know why. Why fed my body good stuff. I want the sugar yesterday I ate 2 cream sticks, 2 donuts, banana, 6 cookies, etc. I just want control of that area of my life but i don't right now I know there is hope but it looks very dime right now in this area of my life.

Hi Renee-
Thank you for posting--I sure do relate!!!! I have come to truly see and accept that I cannot eat certain foods, period. I apply the same principles to my food issues, as I do my alcohol issues---the saying that sums it up for both substances for me is:
"one is too many and a thousand isn't enough"

Keep posting--I am comforted because I know that I am understood here.

Cali thanks. Yes you are understood here and thanks for posting that you do understand. Today has been a much better day for
me. I am glad about that.

I will post more later

me too.

i also have a multi-layered "addiction".. i always thought that my problem was just alcohol, and that i was a textbook alcoholic.. but strangely i have a much bigger problem with food and binge eating.. by that i mean, i CAN have a few drinks and stop without obsessing or wanting more.. and i also quit smoking 6 mos ago after 15 years, and am doing perfectly fine as a nonsmoker.. but MAN.. once i've had 1 piece of cake, 1 cookie, etc.. all bets are off and i'm on a CRAZY tear. it's weird.. how one addiction replaces another.

sadly, i fear that i may always have to live with this issue and attempt to keep myself in check and abstain from certain things and really watch myself.. and be aware of WHAT makes me want to abuse things in excess, and just as importantly, remind myself constantly of how HORRRIBLE i will feel if i allow myself to do so.

i don't post a lot here, but i definitely use this site as a tool during weak moments, or when i'm feeling reflective about my own progress and want to see what other people are going through.
