Those cartoon pictures of foods literally made me hungry… i think I belong here
I’m very much addicted to chips and fast food just the taste and how easy it is to get it just blows my mind how I didn’t think about all of this

I’ve been on a diet for awhile now, and I work at a place surrounded by unhealthy snacks, and I’m having a mental battle with myself, fighting myself from not eating unhealthy. This has legit been the hardest thing I’ve ever done in my life. It’s anguish, it’s legit making me feel like I’m going insane, I fall asleep and dream of eating junk food and wake up craving it violently. But I’ve seen my health and confidence has improved significantly at the same time, more people talk to me now, I’m more patient, I’m less angry, my outlook at life is MUCH more positive than it was before I started the diet, it’s almost like I’m a different person now. But almost every moment when I’m not socializing, I’m violently fighting myself not to eat bad again.

@@JMBBrasil for me it was a deeper approach that addressed what was driving me to food in the first place. When I got free from that, the problem with food went away.
I have all of the above symptoms. I am40. I just had a grandbaby. I’m afraid I will not live much longer. I’m so tired of losing at self discipline. 😢 Don’t have money to go to a doctor. All my joints hurts. I’ve been slowly hurting myself with food. It’s affecting my body, mind, and spirit. I feel powerless. Ever since I was a child, commercials have brain washed me and pushed to follow my nose (fruit loops), you’ll be lucky if you eat sugary goodness(lucky charms), they’re great!(frosted flakes), etc. and now I’m completely sick and diagnosed with cancer three months ago. I just wonder how many people have been mislead and lied to by these cereal companies. I took what they said to heart and it’s hurt me badly. 😢
I stayed thin through my 20's, 30's, and 40''s. Around 53 I decided I no longer needed to worry about my figure and wanted to be happy and eat SO I AM I EARNED IT 😂
Oh yes. I ate to feel happy.

Me too. I got rid of my addictions that I had in past (like smoking and drinking) and subconsciously replaced them with food addiction. I just ate a large meal which made me full, but nevertheless after just 10-15 minutes I started thinking about food again. Right now I don't care that I have this addiction because I am still a bit underweight - I have fast metabolism so I can hardly gain weight (im at 71kg at 181cm), but problem with this addiction is that I prefer unhealthy food. :(
Im so depressed food is just one of the things just makes me feel good

I am completely out of control of my sugar cravings at night. I quit buying sweets and bought some vegetables and dip which I don't like. Then went straight back to eating sweets again. I also have Hashimoto thyroid disease which makes it hard to maintain a healthy weight. So that's strike two.

Hello Richard. Welcome. This is a safe space.
Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to matter to me. I just love eating so much. It can literally be just straight-up vegetables. I'm not sure how to really fix it.
i really have a problem, i have a food addiction. those burgers in the video really looked good.
40rs and I still have not beaten my addiction. I can go 9 months but then fall off the wagon. Getting ready to try again, I find I need to be extreme by fasting or my last attempt I went vegan to keep away from certain foods.

Certain kinds of fat are, like trans fat. But don't do the whole "low fat" thing like back in the 90s.
From cutting weight, I developed an addiction after the sport ended because of how much I valued food when I was cutting. I had unlimited acces to food after the season so I wouldn’t stop
I've had a food addiction ever since I started my antidepressants (3 years ago), and only this year have I been gaining weight since my major inactivity. I realized that if I keep continuing I might end up dying to a heavy weight gain, so I stopped, and ever since 2 month's ago I've went down from 4,000 calories a day to 1,200 to 1,500 calories a day.

My doctor said I don’t have a problem because I don’t purge after binge eating.
How am I supposed to be able to help myself with it
Have all the symptoms but depression. Pasta, Chocolate, Pizza. Breads.
I’m obsessed with sweets. There was a time I ate nothing but cake pops from Starbucks and I would eat a whole tray of cupcakes to myself…..Trying to stop. It’s harder than it looks. A psychologist one said that sugar is as addictive as cocaine.

Addiction can't be applied to food because the way to overcome drug addiction is abstinence and you have to eat in order to survive. You may have an eating disorder which is why it may feel like you are addicted to food because you may have similar traits as a drug addict but there is no actual chemical dependency. If you think you may have an eating disorder there are many resources available to recover. It is so hard to recover but it is possible and worth it! Good luck!
