Hey all, I've used MFP off and on for several years but brand new to the community message boards. I struggle with food addiction and hoping to find accountability partners to keep me motivated and on track. Thanks for reading, have a great day.

This is a world wide health issue it seems to me. At the age of 63 my health was failing quickly so on a hunch I cut out sugar and all forms of all grains. It worked well and still is working well so I am still doing it at 66.
Now how to deal with food addictions can be very different for different people so my way may NOT be the right way for another.
Not sure why in my case eating large amounts of processed carbs triggers eating more carbs even if I have just eaten enough calories for three days. Again Low Carb High Fat was a new way of eating that I had never tried but for some reason my cravings were starting to be managed after the first 30 days.
The MFP group below have given me a lot of positive and factual info and you may ask to join if you wish. At a click of the button you may remove yourself from the group. Again this way of addressing aggressive food attractions may not be what you are looking for but there are a lot of nice people that will work until the cows come home answering serious questions I have learned over the years.

Feel free to add me on your fitness journey. I started Monday and today was pretty tough!!! I'm addicted to bread and can't stop eating it. obviously for this planning and my new diet I have restricted myself 160g a day as it's my only main carbohydrate. I could easily eat 500 g a day and it wouldn't be wholemeal either! Good luck and let's do this!!

Yess! When I’m eating breakfast I think about what I can eat for lunch. And when I’m eating lunch I think about what yumminess I should eat for dinner.3

Food addict here! Big time. Especially when I’m stressing and need a comfort source. My husband is the same way. Thing is if one of us goes downhill so does the other one. So I am throwing out basically all bread and temptations.2

Best of success. It was a hellish two weeks when I failed to taper off of sugar and grains so left them cold turkey. Then the cravings started to fade fast. After the first 30 days starting Oct 2014 my craving control was underway and my health started recovering and now three years later I am still off of sugar and all forms of all grains. Yes I tried Carb Loading about 3 times and it was NOT worth it to me.
It makes me so happy to see young people to start being concerned about how they eat. My life may have been much better had I changed my Way Of Eating 40 years ago. Nevertheless I am well pleased with how my quality of life has improved over the past three years and I expect that to continue.1 -
I go through moments of awesome willpower and moments of eating whole packages of cookies. Definitely need support and accountability! I have about 65lbs to lose after I lost 105 and gained 60 back. Please add me if you are looking for positive support! ♥️2
