A food addict just starting the road to recovery

Hello. My name is Amz and I'm a food addict. It took me a long time to understand this and realize I'm not a person who can eat in moderation without mindful effort. I have been successful in weight loss in the past, but my emotional eating habit has worsened substantially over the last two years. I do not have people in my life to talk to about my compulsive eating or struggles I'll have on my weight loss journey so tonight I decided to join a few groups to see if I can find what I'm lacking online - a group of understanding individuals to mutually share encouragement and support.

Hey Amz ! My name is Michelle and I have battled as well since 12-32 years old I’m officially food addiction free since 06/21/21 .
I have found my self emotionally eating within my green light foods . It began quaintly not quality. Once I noticed I did start blaming everything else beside myself. Once I realized and acknowledge it was me I began to make this change counting calories tomorrow will be day one of redirecting my consumption and my control.
I understand your experience and what you have walked through 10000% . I’m beyond proud of you for sharing your Jo. Please feel free to message me anytime.0
