I tend to have food addictions, always thinking about it when I am stressed. It's like I crave movement and eating and chewing gives me relief. it's not healthy to think of food so much. I don't think of it that much, actually, it's just that it's the first thing that comes me mind when I am stressed. I just want to chew, chew, and chew away my stress. I don't even know if I make sense. I want to concentrate on my college work, but I am constantly distracted. I look for food to deal with my attention problems. I just gotta move and chew. I like taking walks, but sometimes, I crave food to change my brain chemistry. it makes it worse sometimes, but i'm so impulsive and crave movement and chewing. I need to stop. I want to concentrate on my school work for longer periods, but I keep wanting to relax and comfort myself. I'm irresponsible. I need change. Anyone can help? Thanks so much.

peaceweb602, you may want to also post this in our Eating Disorders forum. You might get more replies that way. Although I agree food is an addiction. I use to have an eating disorder. I constantly thought about food. Food made me feel better. That is eating the food made me feel better--I felt like crap after I ate the food. With meds and therapy I pretty much have the eating under control. There is hope, hang in there.
