I know a lot of people don't think you can be addicted to food, but I know I am. If I am busy and not sitting around the house, I'm ok because I don't have time to eat all day. I still crave food sometimes when I'm working but I can't eat it. If I'm one all day, ill eat large amounts of food constantly. I used to binge on gluten foods a lot, like boxes of fudgeeos and a 2 l of ice cream in one sitting then be sick the rest of the day. (I have celiacs) I haven't binged like that in months but instead ill just snack all day. Thankfully i have stopped bingeing on gluten foods so the feeling i get after bingeing/overeating is better than before)I can't break this, if I want to just eat and I try to stop myself, I get very angry and just restless until i break down and stuff myself then hate myself. Anyone out there with this issue??

i can relate somewhat.

while i can't say i get angry if i don't eat, i am a massive overeater- and eat way too much each day

would i say addicted?

hmm... not quite, though if i'm near food- i have to eat it reguardless as if i'm full or not- if i'm no where near a place with food i don't crave it

i've tried doing the moving food out of my reach because someone suggested it to me once, never worked though...

I believe people can definitely be addicted to food. But then, I suffer from an eating disorder, so of course I believe that .
