Eating constantly and gained 30 pounds in 6 months

[BluePearl]

And I am scared because somehow I just can't stop! I just need to feel full at all times. The weight gain started when I started attending a 12 step program for christians, and somehow it triggered me so much that i have been eating more than ever. I have left it but still am stuck with the eating.

A year and a half ago, I was completely free from this addiction to food. I ate normally and even lost some weight an was becoming really healthy. I was also going through a very difficult time and fell in depression. So I started attending a 12 step program. Unfortunaly, instead of helping me it triggered me and left me sicker week after week. And the eating became overwhelming. I finally stopped that program last december and have been in couselling instead. But still the urge to eat is here and I don't know what to do anymore.

I am looking for testimonies to just strengthen my faith in that area. Do you know any books of christians who overcame an eating addiction? Or could you share your personnal testimony of how you overcame this addiction?

Thank you so much for your support and prayers
God bless

I have overcome binge eating at times and at other times I have struggled with it. One time I found that changing to eating healthier foods helped me a lot. Like lots of vegetables and some fruit and a little grains and palm size pieces of meat or poultry. That's about all I can offer. I am keeping you in my prayers and wish you all the best in your journey. God bless you.
