I *am* an addict. Food is my addiction and anyone that wants to laugh at that can ******** suck it. Food is a terrible addiction to have because it's always going to be around, you can't quit food cold turkey. You have to battle your demons and find out what's causing your addiction and DEAL with it. Food will always be there, there will always be people with food and there will always be the same bad for you foods around and they're always going to be romanticized. Food ads will always be around, and the you will ALWAYS be able to get your hands on it, if you try to quit your main addiction foods cold turkey, *Someone* will have them somewhere, you'll come face to face with your addiction food again, and again and again.
This is what I realized today.

that's not the best encouraging words there shinu.
L.Schist, all I can say is I agree. It's a freaking addiction. But like other addictions you can find alternatives. Find a way to change something unhealthy for something nutritious.
Feel like you're about to go on a binge, eat veggies. You can eat and eat and eat as many veggies as you want. And the amazing thing is that about 1 cup of raw veggies is about 30 ~ 50 calories.
Ok I sound like a broken record. I'm just trying to be optimistic and find other ways.

I'm not really discouraged or anything, it's that realization that helped me get back on the weight loss bike and keep riding. I was doing bad before but that's because I wasn't treating it how it should have been treated. Like an addiction. I'm getting better now.
Also, Shinu, weight loss is 80% diet, so eating whatever you want and not gaining back all the weight will never happen if what you want is more than what you need.

 Initially, I adored white bread. Now I can really only stand wheat. I hated not eating cheese and sugary things adamantly, but I've adjusted.
My vice currently is eating at friends' houses, or when we go out for noms. My fiance took me to Applebee's for my eighteenth this last weekend, and I chowed down a large plain cheeseburger and fries. Albeit, I drank three glasses of tea and had some veggies. Same day I ate lotsa carbs.
And two nights ago, I had a horrific Chex mix binge.
I'm trying to keep around 1400 calories, and right now, it's hard.
I hope you get better, I wish us all luck."If your stomach feels weak my work here is DONE."

chocolate has been the worst addiction i have ever tried to break. Its the one thing I know i can count on and its always avalible in the place where i am staying. Damn you 99 cent store and your bags of sugar! In the past week i can find myself consuming two bags of easter candy and three king sized packets of peanut butter cups... not to mention a bunch of chocolate burbon brownies... yeah... This I know is due to the fact that my boyfriend is visiting from arizona and i dont want him to leave.
The next is melted cheese... oi! me and him are the same on cheese... so i understand the addiction process. The best thing to do is find some way of forgetting about it for now. Go take a long walk or read a book or clean the bathroom... hey works for me...
