Eating Disorders and Food Addiction

Individual Groups For Women

 

People in this group use food as a source of comfort to deal with pain in their lives. The pain can be caused by problems such as poor self esteem, shame, self-hate, abuse, lack of intimacy, abandonment, hurt, anger, frustration, etc. Food disorders can take different forms, which include bulimia, anorexia, compulsive overeating, binging, engaging in excessive exercise, starvation, etc. Whatever form the food issue takes, it is progressive. It usually starts as a minor behavior pattern and ultimately crosses the line into a full blown addiction. Often the person with this disorder feels that food is the only area of control they have left in their lives. These people need outside help to solve this problem.

 The help offered by Celebrate Recovery is spiritual. It starts with turning one’s life and will over to the care and control of Jesus Christ. The person with a food issue acknowledges they have a problem, and they have not been able to put it under control. They recognize that Jesus Christ is their loving Higher Power, and He will provide all the resources needed to overcome their addictions.

 These people follow up by attending weekly Celebrate Recovery meetings. In these meetings they learn how to identify their underlying issues causing their addictive behavior. They also learn how to appropriate God’s power in eliminating them. They learn how to forgive those who have hurt them and to make amends to all the people they have hurt.  They learn how to change their focus from themselves to others. The result is lasting freedom and permanent victory.

Over the years many people with food issues have gone through the Celebrate Recovery program with incredible results. Celebrate Recovery has a success rate much higher than conventional recovery programs. Why not give it a try?
