We are excited to announce our Facebook group.

“Breaking Free from Food Addiction” is a group of men and women who support each other in food addiction recovery through a Facebook closed group. The group members use the food plan designed by Kay Sheppard, LMHC. Food addiction is characterized by obsession with food, obsession with weight and loss of control over the amount of food eaten. It involves the compulsive pursuit of a mood change by engaging repeatedly in episodes of binge eating despite adverse consequences.

Members work each day on “abstinence”. Abstinence is achieved by the elimination of compulsive eating, volume eating, under eating, addictive eating, and all of the substances that will trigger an addictive response, these include sugar, flour, wheat, highly refined carbohydrate foods, high fat foods, and personal trigger foods.

This group is not a part of any 12-Step program, there are many members who attend all types of meetings for support. It is suggested that you obtain a copy of the book called, From The First Bite, A Complete Guide to Food Addiction Recovery by Kay Sheppard, Heath Communications Press.

You are welcome to join us in abstinent recovery and we suggest you try the food plan for 90 days to see if this is for you. Welcome and Happy Abstinence!!
