Hi,

I suffer from Binge Eating Disorder (professionally diagnosed) and your description sounds just like me.

im sorry but i am going to try to shed some light on the subject i hope you and ~love life~ take it well, with a grain of salt if you will, i want you to understand that i dealt with and am still dealing with the exact same thing, however its not an addiction as a matter of fact i think its rediculous that they would make a diagnoses on this.....that is unbelievable to me

it comes down to a choice either the right choice or the wrong choice....your an athelete, you have trained your self to love foods and crave foods adn your eating is emotional because you dont eat just to eat you eat for the satisfaction.......when your in a weak state of mind then you mindlessly eat you need to re-train yourself to set off red flags when food is involved....you need to completely retrain your mind to understand what is good and what is bad..........i have not completely conquered that but i am on my way.....

own your choices dont let your choices own you
 
Let me just say, Disciple, I agree that I do need to retrain my brain and I need to learn how to make the right choices. However, couldn't you say the same thing to someone who is addicted to drugs, " you have trained yourself to do heroin and you do it when you're in a week state of mind." (not an exact quote obviousely) People who are addicted know it, they just have a very hard time fixing the problem. And for me personally, I don't eat just to eat or when I'm in a bad mood or anything like that. I wake up thinking about food, I think about food all day, and I go to bed thinking about food. I have no doubt in my mind that I'm addicted to food, whether that's a real disorder or not I don't know. Thank you for your input, I do welcome all advice and comments. In this case I just disagree with some of your ideas.
