My War With Food Addiction

Eating Disorders June 26, 2012


Carl Christensen, MD PhD Pain Recovery Solutions, Ann Arbor Mi Depts of OB Gyn & Psychiatry, WSU cchriste@med.wayne.edu

Some people fight battles with guns and tanks, others use spoons and kitchen utensils. I remember the Battle of the Bulge. The Ponderosa Salad Bar suffered a six-plate defeat. I remember a war with a chocolate Easter bunny. In the middle of the night, I bit its head off. I admit it. I was a food addict. My life was controlled by food. Moderation was never my strong point.

My War With Food Addiction


When it came to ice cream, one scoop was never enough. I once ate a two-and-a-half gallon tub of maple walnut ice cream. It almost froze my stomach. To make matters worse, it was my roommates ice cream! I felt so badly afterwards that I put a 12-foot chain through the handles of the refrigerator and cupboards and told my roommate, "here's the key to your food." He wasn't impressed. Tom McGregor, Eating in Freedom

Step Two: Overeaters Anonymous


We have driven miles in the dead of night to satisfy a craving for food. We have eaten food that was frozen, burnt, stale, or even dangerously spoiled. We have eaten food off of other peoples plates, off the floor, off the ground. We have dug food out of the garbage and eaten it.

Step Two: Overeaters Anonymous


We have frequently lied about what we have eaten-lied to others because we didnt want to face the truth ourselves. We have stolen food from our friends, .we have also stolen money to buy food. We have eaten beyond the point of being full, beyond the point of being sick of eating. We have continued to overeat, knowing all the while we were disfiguring and maiming our bodies.

Anorexia
I dont see what they tell me they see in the mirror. My cheeks are too full, my hips and thighs are too wide and round, my arms carry too much fat and my stomach bulges. Looking in the mirror is a daily torture that I allow myself, because who can resist the temptation of that reflective sheet of glass? Of glimpsing who they think they are?

Are Eating Disorders Addictions?


Mark Gold, Eating Disorders, Overeating, and Pathological Attachment to Food.

Are Eating Disorders Addictions? Nora Volkow


Many obesity researchers focus on how the body's fuel and fat levels control appetite. But as binge eaters know, habits and desire often override metabolic need, which share some of the characteristics of drug using behavior in drug-addicted subjects.

The 1960s were known as the decade of sex, drugs, and rock and roll. Food seems to be an afterthought and it may be that it is suppressed by drug-taking. the heavier the patient, the less alcohol and illegal drugs they use. It is almost as if they are competing for the same reward sites in the brain. Treatment of addicts appears to result in weight gain.all supervised drug abstinence treatment causes weight gain. loss of control over eating and obesity produces changes in the brain, which are similar to those produced by drugs of abuse.

Twelve Steps of FA/OA


http://foodaddicts.org; http://oa.org
We admitted we were powerless over food that our lives had become unmanageable. Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity. Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood Him. Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves. Admitted to God, to ourselves and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs. Were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character.
7. 8. 9. 10. 11. Humbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings. Made a list of all persons we had harmed and became willing to make amends to them all. Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others. Continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong, promptly admitted it. Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God as we understood Him, praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out. Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these Steps, we tried to carry this message to compulsive overeaters and to practice these principles in all our affairs.

From Food Addiction: Stories of Men in Recovery


Being a man, I learned I was not supposed to worry about my weight. When I stopped drinking alcoholmy weight began to rise, and no matter what I tried, I could not control it. Food had become my alternative to alcohol. In FA, I was able to recognize that certain foods are addictive substances for me. I learned how to weigh and measure my food, putting boundaries around my meals. I have been able to return to the athletic activities that had become too painfulIn FA, I am learning how to face life without using food as a drug.

Recovery is possible! Eating disorder treatment is available and recovery is possible! It is possible to access eating disorder treatment while taking classes at UM. In some cases, students choose to take fewer credits or temporarily withdraw to allow more time and energy for treatment. In any case, we can offer support and assistance! Regardless of how long you've struggled with eating issues or the severity of your eating disorder, the sooner you begin treatment, the better. The longer disordered eating patterns continue and the more deeply ingrained they become, the more difficult recovery may be. Seek help soon if you think you or a friend might be struggling with eating problems.

STRONGLY SUPPORTED TREATMENTS

COGNITIVE BEHAVIORAL THERAPY FOR EATING DISORDERS


Cognitive-behavioral therapy is an active type of counseling. Sessions usually are held once a week for as long as you need to master new skills. Individual sessions last 1 hour, and group sessions may be longer. During cognitive-behavioral therapy for anorexia or bulimia you learn: About your illness, its symptoms, and how to predict when symptoms will most likely recur. To keep a diary of eating episodes, binge eating, purging, and the events that may have triggered these episodes. To eat more regularly, with meals or snacks spaced no more than 3 or 4 hours apart. How to change the way you think about your symptoms. This reduces the power the symptoms have over you. How to change self-defeating thought patterns into patterns that are more helpful. This improves mood and your sense of mastery over your life. This helps you avoid future episodes. Ways to handle daily problems differently. What To Expect After Treatment You can use your cognitive-behavioral skills throughout your life. You may find that additional "tune-up" sessions help you stay on track with your new skills. http://www.webmd.com/mental-health/cognitive-behavioral-therapy-for-eating-disorders
