Really unhealthy relationship with food

[vilamoura2003]

I think I have a problem with an addiction to food

Everyday I wake up thinking I need to eat healthily today and halfway through the day I start to pick and then think "I'll start tomorrow" and then binge like crazy for the rest of the day and then start the same process again the next day.

I need to lose 3.5 stone - my self esteem is through the floor. I am so lethargic and tired all the time, it can't help that I am so overweight. It seems such a large amount to lose and I look at myself and I am disgusted that i have let it go so much. My father is an alcoholic and I do think I may have his addictive personality but with food as my vice instead. When I was a smoker when I was younger I used to smoke instead or eat and had the same unhealthy relationship with cigarettes

Anybody else a food addict that has any tips? I know it is common sense really, eat less and move more

I've got no advice because I could have written your post myself so I'll join you and offer moral support and hope for some advice too.

I am similar and lost a load of weight a few years ago (although some of it has crept back on). I think I am an emotional/bored eater. So I feel like I am trying to fill up something missing with food. Like food is the most pleasurable thing. I broke the cycle before by filling the void with something else. You have to really really want to lose weight more than you want to eat and so you need a reason to want to lose weight to cling on to. Wanting to look better is not enough. It needs to be a reason that can't be compromised. For me before I started adult ballet and lived it so much I needed to lose weight so that I could do it properly. That drive me to not eat so much if that makes sense?

Sorry for all the typos! Hope that made sense!

Thank you for your responses - I have thought about trying hypnosis to try and break the cycle.

Eating rubbish food makes me in turn feel very lethargic and rubbish, I really do not so myself any favours.

I don't enjoy exercise and I am not great in the kitchen. I need to try and find some healthy meals that i enjoy eating and work out which exercise I enjoy. I am so out of puff all the time - these adverts on the telly about being out of breath and lung cancer are not helping my health anxiety

I think I have a paul McKenna gastric band cd somewhere, might give it a try tomorrow

Say what now?

I think someone has been smoking something interesting!

Wtf has largebaby been taking?!! Can anyone help decipher her posts?!

Op, have a look at Bright Line Eating , it's about for addiction. X

Does anyone else have a clue what is going on?

I thought for a moment I had lots of replies but don't think they are for me after all lol 😂

Thank you Ohyesiam 😘
