Posted by Journee I haven't posted here in quite a while, but I've been struggling so much lately. I have been absinent from my trigger foods for well over a year now. Also according to my doctor, I should not lose any more weight, (need to adjust my food program). A few weekends ago, I binged 3 days in a row on only absinent foods. I was so full I had to sleep it off. (Can anyone relate to the physical stomache pain and "drunkeness" associated with consumming huge amounts of food in a short time?). So even though I have been abstinent from my trigger foods, I have had relapse in my food plan. As I'm reading OA literature for inspiration, I had read a story about someone who was abstinent with her food & plan, but was still food obsessed. Even though I am abstinent again with both the food and the food plan, I still have my "favorite" meals that I really look forward to, still save the best for last on my plate, still seem to overvalue food. I'm wondering if I should try to develope a "nutral attitude" toward food, or am I feeding into the disease. I am a food addict, but have also been bulemic and anorexic in the past. My highest weight was 350lbs., and I'm at a weight now that my doctor insists on not going below. Can anyone share their experience, strenght & hope regarding food obsession while being abstinent? I didn't think it was possible???
