Locked Up for Eating Too Much: The Diary of a Food Addict in Rehab

At age 23, Debbie Danowski was imprisoned by food addiction. Years of stuffing her feelings by ingesting endless quantities of ice cream, potato chips, candy, and burgers left Danowski feeling isolated, inadequate, deceptive, and unlovable. Liberation came only after Danowski enrolled in a six-week inpatient treatment program for food addiction. There, as she learned about her physiological addiction to sugar and flour, Danowski came to recognize her deeper, unmet cravings for love and self-acce

Self control…make the decision that food is not going to control you, you are going to control it.

Don’t binge…when you prepare food, prepare only 1 serving, eat that and be done. Don’t cook multiple servings and eat them all, don’t eat chips or whatever-it-is right out of the bag until you are stuffed…measure out 1 portion, and put the rest away.

Drink lots of water…it’s filling.

Do something to distract yourself…go for a walk, get on the computer…whatever takes your mind off food.

Look at the clothes in your closet that are a bit too small…think about how much happier you will be when you fit comfortably into those clothes, and how you don’t get that same pleasure from a big meal (no matter how good it tastes).

Take control of your actions and choices. DECIDE you are going to do it…and then do it…

That’s what works for me…i can wish and half heartedly try…and moan and groan about my weight…but bottom line is when I really decide I’m sick of the number on the scales and sick of all my cute clothes not fitting anymore, I take action to change it…and I always succeed.

Secondly as a conventional diet is resumed the body stores this food away as fat as it feels that it has been deprived of the calories it needs to function correctly. With a lowered metabolism calories are also harder to burn off. The consequence of this is that any weight lost is quickly regained and a dieter may well finish up weighing more than before the diet began. Weighing the same or more than earlier than the first diet began the dieter begins a different diet and the cycle therefore continues.

Perhaps you might find Overeaters Anonymous a good support group. They approach overeating in the same manner as Alcoholics Anonymous. They use the same tools and meeting format as AA. And, it doesn’t cost anything.
