08/25 Extreme Food Obsessions
Quote From: felines1Dear anyone, I get so frustrated. I am a food addict, and this is the biggest battle of my life. I need all the encouragement I can get. I am reading a little book, an old one, called it is not what you are eating, it is what is eating you. I am identifying with it strongly. Any tips or suggestions for this monster in my life of binge eating and carb addiction? Thank you. Yvonne Gramse I feel that therapy can be very helpful. That book makes sense. It's WHAT'S EATING YOU! Therapy will help you find what's eating you or what the root cause of your food addiction is. What is it for you? If you can get to the bottom of it, it should help.
There's always that chance that there may be a physical cause. I would also see a doctor to have blood tests done. I know that if your pancreas is pumping out insulin that your cells aren't receptive to, which would be Diabetes Type II, that can also cause hunger.
But what I have seen a lot is that some people use food as a substitue for a need that wasn't fufilled in the past.
There's always hope, but you have to work at it too. Good luck!
