Hello all,

I am new to this discussion and this is my first message. I have a real problem with food. First, I think about it almost all the time and I know my life is really affected by all these feelings. Also, I am a binge eater. Sometimes (especially just coming back from work), I have this big craving for food and I eat all the most sweet and fatty foods I can find in my apartment or I just stop by a store and buy a bunch of unhealthy items and eat them all. I feel very very bad afterwards. I cannot sleep. All this happens before my husband comes back from work, usually a little bit after me. It is so hard afterwards to prepare a meal since I feel so guilty. I feel so bad that I can't speak to anyone, not even my husband. That's why I'm using this list. I know that instead of thinking of food, I should read a book or call a friend but there is like a force that I can't counteract. In life, I have a lot of willingness, at work and for other things, and I usually succeed but with food I feel completely out of control. If you have some advice, I would greatly appreciate your help.

Thanks,

Odile

Hey, Odile.

You just wrote my story. Are you sure you're not me? :lol:
