Hi. I'm new here. I'm getting back on track wanted to find a new group of online friends to get healthy with.

I have discovered about myself that I am a food addict. I have all the symptoms of drug addiction-- my drug is food. This would be a lot easier if I didn't have to still be around it every day in moderation.

I'm jump starting my diet with a 5 day fast (liquid diet).
I joined a local TOPS support group last night.
I'm journaling every bite and drink.
I'm playing Wii sports every morning.
I found an online support group (you).

Two days down and I'm feeling good. I have only one struggle right now and it's this horrible desire to go binge on a whole can of cheddar pringles in private. A weird thing but it's really eating at me. So, I keep focusing on my victories. I'm hanging in there.

This will get easier with time, right?

The support piece has been crucial for me. Congrats on getting through the first two days. The first few are the hardest and it absolutely got easier for me. I hardly think about it now. It's just how I eat. Though I'm not nearly perfect and still have my moments when I'd kill for a cheeseburger, but those pass thankfully!

So welcome to you!! Looking forward to seeing you around the site!

Hello and welcome!! Good to see you here. It sounds like you have one heck of a game plan. Yeah, food addiction sucks in that one can live without cigarettes or alcohol or drugs, but you stop eating, you die. But you have a whole lot of positive people here who are more than willing to welcome you into their circle and help you in any way you need it! And yes, it DOES get easier with time, or so I'm told.
