Hi my name is Cat and I am addicted to eating.

I thought since my relationship with food seems to be a love/hate relationship and since I don't have any control over it any more I would start treating it like an addiction. So I have looked at the 12 steps that are for aa and I am going to apply them here.

I have struggled with my weight for years, and I don't like the idea of going to WW or JC cause it costs so much. Why does the industry charge so much for helping us keep our weight normal? We have ads for those companies right next to fast food ads, we get so many mixed messages in our lives, no wonder some of us have no control. So on that line of thinking I want to start my own EA thread. Feel free to join me on my journey as I try to see if the 12 steps work for eating addictions. It doesn't cost anything to join

So Step 1:
I am powerless over my eating. I eat for comfort, for anger, for sadness, for happiness, I am always thinking about food. I no longer control my eating, it controls me. My life is out of control.
