Have you tried Overeaters Anonymous for the emotional support? I don't know if it's better, but I do know it's free-er. :)<br /><br />Paula - You, me, Mrs. C and who knows how many others out there. I think this is way more common than people realize.

It brough...First, thanks for commenting on my post. It brought a smile to my face and so I came here. Read your post and thought alas, someone who totally gets what I'm going through. <br /><br />You said what I'm feeling so eloquently. You're right, we just need to take it one day at a time. That's been my "creed" given how I struggle from day to day. I guess it's like with any addiction we have our hi's and lows.<br /><br />Just a few moments ago, I stole a piece of candy from an abandoned student cubby and began to eat it. When I realized the horror of what I was doing, I spit it in the garbage can and thought I'd come to the blogosphere to confess.<br /><br />You're definitely not alone and thank you for pointing out that article. I'ma go read it now.<br /><br />Hugs,<br />paula<br /><br />thank you for reading my ramblings.paulawannacrackerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07401434790948821665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12379657.post-47765226881393792342010-12-02T20:45:58.779-08:002010-12-02T20:45:58.779-08:00I'm a food addict, too.

Now it's my only defense. <br />I know exactly what you mean about it being a constant struggle. My husband brings donuts in the house and I can't eat 1, I have to eat 3....or more.....until i feel so guilty & sick that I break down in tears.<br />I have done Weight Watchers but I don't need to do it to lose weight (though I could lose 15-20lbs), I need it for emotional support.<br />People don't understand that when you are eating it's not because you want to, and you might not even enjoy it. I have to train myself that food is fuel for my body and not my emotions. *sigh*Caseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05590025935266741624noreply@blogger.com
