Food Addicts in Recovery Anonymous-Philly Local Service Group

Can a person be addicted to food?
Recovering food addicts say yes. They experience their relationship with food as a form of addiction. They are powerless over where, when, and how much they eat, although many have tremendous willpower in other areas of their lives.

Here are some of the symptoms of food addiction:
Overeating (bingeing or grazing)
Purging (bulimia)
Undereating
Obesity (and related problems such as diabetes, heart disease, and sleep apnea)
Compulsive exercise and dieting
Obsession with food or weight
Depression, shame, isolation, and hopelessness related to food, weight, or body image.
Food addiction tends to remain unrecognized because of the focus on these symptoms rather than their underlying cause – addiction. FA is a program for those who want to stop eating addictively. Like Alcoholics Anonymous, FA treats food addiction as a threefold illness: physical, mental, and spiritual. Recovering food addicts in FA remain at their goal-weight for years and even decades. Long-term abstinence from addictive eating is made possible by a member’s willingness to live a structured way of life and work the Twelve Steps.
