Chocolate addiction ?

drpsamin

I have food addiction in general but it is especially addiction to chocolate. I can eat an entire box of ferraro rocher + couple malteazers + couple snickers bars in 1 sitting washed down with a can of coke zero. Yes its that bad. I'm 3-4 months clean from binging...but the struggle is real. Anyone else?

I am a trained chef and baker so I was my own worst enemy. I used to create whatever I was craving. I would make Creme Brulee for 12 people and eat the whole thing on my own, or bake a cake and it in a day maybe 2. Sugar was my goto binge item, I would buy candy and eat the entire large bag of it in the 3 minute car ride home. I would eat in secret shame and hide all evidence and lie about it as well.

@mweckler - your story/habits sounds like mine.

I have a few blog posts I have written that goes into more detail of what I went through before I was diagnosed.

I have a major problem with chocolate too. I didn't even like chocolate much until relatively recently and now I'm obsessed with it. I think it's more about the texture than the flavor though. I can eat it forever and not get sick of it. The only issue is when I binge on it it usually makes me really thirsty!

OMG! Yes! I bake too...I bake and then eat the whole thing - muffins, rolls, pies, cakes.....My major problem is that I can always bake or make smth out of what is available at home, even if I don't keep junk there...
