I posted this a few months ago but I have added much to my homepage. Check it out.

Hi, I'm RaVae, a food addict, A little about me and my addiction:

As far back as my memories go (I'm 52 so
that's a lot of memories), it seems like I have always been obsessed with food, especially sugar. During my compulsive eating days, I tried everything. You name it; I tried it, spending thousands of dollars along the way.

The more full I got the more I wanted to eat, I was involved in a never ending search for the magic food that would fill the empty spot inside me. I could never get enough, one was too many and a million was never enough. I would eat until I was sick, then pass out and wake up and eat some more. I've never in my whole life tasted anything that was too rich for me; I could always eat tons of everything, For the rest of my journey click on my name and visit my homepage
 
How are you doing now?

I began being a food addict when I was 13 and could easily answer yes to all of your questions on your blog site. During those years, I was afraid I was doomed to spend the rest of my life stuck in that horrible place. However, I would keep reminding myself that I didn't have that problem during my youngest years so there was no reason I couldn't leave the horrible place of being a food addict. The battle of not having food in it's proper place mentally (or physically) went on for about 12 years, but I would never give up hope. Anyhow, that's all a long story.

Today, I can share hope because that horrible place has proven to remain in my life's past. Many events happened throughout my life which could have sent me back to that horrible place during my teen years and early adulthood.

I fully understand all about looking for that magic food to fill that empty spot inside.

Because you've been suffering with this for so long, I hope you don't mind my asking how you feel about this food addiction at this point in your life. I know I'd feel devastated if mine lasted so long.
 
i have been abstinent for over 20 years. it might sound crazy to you but i'm glad i'm a compulsive overeater/food addict. because of all the things i have learned that have given me a life beyond my wildest dreams.
 
It's not crazy.

What's crazy is if you're a food addict for decades and don't learn anything from it! Do you know what your turning point could have been?
 
yes, when i realized my addict and i are seperate. i created her and she lives in me but she is not me. once i realized that i could fight and win. and take me back.
