Why cannot I just stop eatting junk food or stop binging. 
When I look in the mirror, I cry. Sometimes, I cannot stand myself.

The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.
If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.
If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
Why does it all taste so good?

All I endure is to prepare me to serve others.
I used to be bulimic (well... i guess technically i am still bulimic, but not acting on it 
) Today I binged. It makes me feel disgusting. PM or IM me if you want to talk. I think I can understand what you're going through.
God Bless,
Hayley

To some this might sound strange, but after a lifetime of issues with food, I just thought, you know, Jesus cares about this too. So I prayed something like this and for the first time I have a level of self-control around food . . .
Lord, I don't want to be vain, but I don't like the way I look. I don't like the way I relate to food. I don't like the time I take obsessing over it, and I feel like I use it for things it's not designed to do, like for comfort or entertainment. Lord, I'm too focused on being thin, even though it's so hard for me to quit eating because it makes me feel better. Jesus, I want You to be my comfort, my support. I want to take pride in being healthy and having a healthy relationship with food. Please help me, because everything I've tried to do on my own really hasn't helped. I need you.
Something along those lines. It's like the INTENSITY of my relationship with food has softened, and now I really enjoy eating, but when I'm done, I'm done, and I don't obsess.
Hope that helps. I know how hard it is.

food is a physical addiction too, usually associated with emotional and spiritual issues as well. There is help out there for those who have tried everything, yo'd yo'd dieted, etc. You are not alone
