Hi, I’m RaVae, a food addict.
Please look over the questions below to see if you are a food addic
like me. If you say yes to three or more of the questions, then you ar
probably like me and the good news is you’re not alone. When I began 1
years ago, the answer to every one of the questions for me was yes!
Do you have more than an occasional episode of binge eating?
Yes, i binged all the time. The only time i did not binge was when
was sleeping then I dreamed about it.
Do you eat when you’re not physically hungry?
Physically hungry i don't think i have ever been really, really hungr
in my life, but I alway felt like I was starving
Do you feel disgusted with yourself and/or guilt and shame afte
binging?
Disgusted every night when i went to sleep I prayed to not wake up.
Do you generally feel depressed?
Yes, i was either on the ceiling or in the toilet.
Do you isolate to eat?
Boy, did I, I considered me, myself and I a party of three.
Do you frequently attempt to lose weight and fail?
I tried every diet i ever hear of.
Do you eat large amounts of food throughout the day?
I could eat and eat and eat and eat, the eat some more.
Do you eat much more rapidly than others?
i even had people comment on how fast i ate.
Do you continue eating when stuffed?
Feeling stuffed just meant go lay down tell you can eat more.
At any given time, over a million people are on a diet or starting one
I used to be included in that million, but my diets did not last long
My best diet efforts only lasted until I reached my goal weight. Fo
the last 19 years, I have not been on even one ‘die-----it’ now I’m o
a live----it,’ a new way of living.
During my compulsive eating days, I tried everything. You name it;
tried it, spending thousands of dollars along the way. That’s why I’
writing this, in hopes that my 52-year journey (33 years in the foo
and 19 years out of the food) can help others avoid many of th
mistakes I made. I feel that being in the food for 33 years and no
having just past my 19th anniversary out of the food makes me somewha
of an expert. Here I will share with you some of the many of the truth
I have learned that have made it possible for me to stay out of the foo
for the past 19 years or 6,935 days. (Keep in mind it all started wit
one day.) If you keep reading, maybe your life can become
“live-----it,” too . . . What I have learned over the last 19 years i
how to take my life back, that’s not quite true, I’ve learned how t
get a life! My obsession with food started so early, and I believe tha
it denied me a “real” life until after I started my food journey 1
years ago.

having fun in recovery

Yeah, another stupid spammer trying to peddle her wares in violation of the
ng charter.
The thing is, so very many people think they have this uncontrollable eating
disorder... often for decades... they aren't truly hungry but they have this
gnawing, starving feeling most of the time, are ready to eat again a short
time after eating, are thus thinking about food most of the time. Needless
to say this can lead to runaway overconsumption, obesity, diabetes, and
worse.
The amazing thing so many asdl-c'ers have discovered - at relatively little
expense - is that simply cutting way, way back on carbohydrate intake
actually REMOVES those symptoms. I don't think I'd experienced true hunger
in years... until I discovered low-carbohydrate dieting. It seems to be the
excess insulin production, stimulated by more carbohydrate than our
individual endocrine system, and activity level, can handle, that causes
these symptoms. Fix the endocrine situation and voila... no more eating
disorder. You asdl-c'ers - how many of you remember the first time you
realized - in total awe and amazement - that you had totally forgotten to
eat lunch?!
Maybe not for everybody, but I know many have had experiences similar to
mine.
If I knew someone with an eating disorder similar to what this spammer
described, I'd tell them first of all - before anything else - to read
Atkins or another of the low-carb diet books, and then try the plan. And to
get their (free of charge) support from asdl-c or a low-carb website such as
