Hi Friends. I am in recovery and will have 2 years of abstinence from food addiction on March 29th. At age 52-53 I lost 125 pounds. I have kept it off for one year. Thank you Food Addicts Anonymous for giving me the food plan that finally took away my non-stop and uncontrollable food urges. Thank you Overeaters Anonymous for the love and support at meetings with other food addicts like myself. Thank you allnurses.com for allowing me to talk about my life long struggle with food addiction and the wonderful support of my online nurse friends. I am so grateful for every day of being abstinent from this deadly food addiction that use to totally control my life. I pray that my story will help others to recover too. Please don't ever give up!!!! I know at age 50 I was totally humiliated and I use to tell myself "For crying out loud, Why don't you just accept the fact that you are always going to be fat and miserable. You're too old to change now." NOT TRUE!!!
Recovery truly can come at any age.

Thank you for sharing your story! I feel your pain, because I have always had issues with food addiction, too.
