New-food problem

[Rohwen]

Hi, I didn't notice when I first signed up for this that it is for alcohol addiction, but now that I have I figure whatever, addiction is addiction and it looks like there are people going thought simular addictions as me on thes chat.
I have been struggling for some time with a binge eating disorder. I have tryed so many different dieting ideas and ways to control my eating but nothing works. I did well for myself today and in the evening I started to feel sick....hours later after I had binged I realized I was actually going through a food with drawl even though I hadn't starved myself. At this moment I really realized whats going on, and I realize it has to change. I am very active and have so much to contribute but my body and discust with myself for my
eating habbits and dependence, have led me to act introverted. I actually know a lot about healthy eating, I just can't seem to control when to stop.

Is there anyone going through a simular struggle who wants to be a support buddy or is there anyone with experience in these issues who can help me though this?

I am ashamed and embarassed but I am young and I realize I need to kick this so I can enjoy a healthy happy life.

Hi Rohwen!

Welcome to SR!

We are a support community who pretty much do exactly what you've asked -
hang out together and do what we can to get each other through
well, another day, I suppose.

please feel free to wander around -
I suggest you go over to our 'Eating Disorders' forum.

There's information there at the top of the forums -
stickies, they call them ....
with information about ...
well,everything we know of so far to do with eating disorders.

There's links to information boards
as well as links to webpages of recovery programs
and suggestions on nutrition and alternatives.

An eating disorder is just as valid as a drug addiction or alcoholism
in regard to its devastating effect on anyone's life and freedom.

Again - welcome!
