The obsession with food health weight becomes a way to not feel the feelings we are meant to feel, or not face the stresses in life... and much like the alcoholic a "normal"(raw, vegan, vegetarian, or SAD) eating person cannot tr

WOW!!!!! The reason I started this conversation was because I am in recovery for an eating disorder and being poor i went for help to Overeaters anonymous because free is what I could afford and I couldn't recover by myself.

what an interesting conversation this has turned out to be. didn't expect all the information about garlic and onions but i suppose it is an added benefit... a funny side note is that i used to eat tons of garlic and onions... and my dad used to get down right angry with the way it would make me smell... then as my diet progressed i stopped eating it more because it started causing me such painf

i am reading a book about orthorexia right now per suggestion though my OA sponsor and she has said i am most definitely Orthorexic and I can see why she says that though i am not nearly as severe as some... but I have done many of the food restricting because of health problems i have had to contend with and it has worked mostly...... to take certain foods out... to play the obsessive role more

Yes i agree with all of you...is that possible... anyhow... it is totally emotional... but i do feel that there are certain foods that trigger addiction I am listening to a book on cd called The End of Overeating...and so far he talks about how certain combinations of foods actually do cause an addictive reaction and he interviews a guy that works for a food company and the nameless guy says that
