Urgh, I am not exaggerating when I say over the last couple of days I have eaten an entire 1kg bag of cookies, pretty much by myself. My husband had a go at the kids for eating too many snacks while they are off school and I was too embarrassed to admit it was mostly me.
After a few months of a really good relationship with food it is sobering to know that I can easily slide back into a total lack of control.
But got out for exercise today, and going to focus on eating whole foods and moving rather than restricting.

My mother in lawās birthday is today. There will be cake. I will abstain. I so do not want to ingest any of this. Letās see what my addiction will come up with
@Misokatsu Cookies are evil And I have stolen other peopleās sweets on many occasions.
Iām 19 days sober from alcohol and I think Iām ready to start dealing with my food addiction again. Iāve had binge eating disorder since I was a kid. My diabetes is back. I need help with this too. I hate admitting it.
Welcome aboard! Great job on the 19 days of sobriety.
We are here together. Do you have any plans how to deal with your food addiction?
Day 1115 : No binge today.
Welcome to the thread, @mapai24! Great job on 19 days sober! Youāre not alone in turning to food after sobriety. But you can get better, I believe in you! I hope you find this thread helpful/inspiring to your recovery.

Yesterday was a close one. A table full of cakes, cookies and sweets directly in front of me all afternoon. I fought. I clung to my coffee pot. Iām so very grateful I did not pickup the first bite.

My hormones apparently took a dive yesterday and my cravings drove me crazy. Had to reset my HPF and dairy counters. Now I have to stay vigilant. Mood swings and cravings will come as sure as rainā¦

Hormone levels have improved. I slept well. This makes everything easier.
How do you post on here?
I joined overeaters anonymous to get help with my binging. It hasnt helped and i quickly returned to my āfeel good foodsā. I still have a sponsor in that fellowship and she is being patient with me because she knows i am in AA too. I am going through the 12 steps for my second time in AA im on my 4th step. Im taking my time this time. I want that spiritual awakening! So im doing work in both programs trying not to over woork myself. Unfortunately though i have traded drugs and alcohol in for food. Thats why this binging has become such a issue. I keep praying tp my higher power to remove the obsession and compulsion to overeat. I just have to be patient. I also have to work hard and use my tools to not binge!
