Thread: I think I am addicted to food...?

I have stuggled with my weight for quite a few years now. I have tried everything from Atkins to the southbeach diet, now I am attempting weight watchers. No matter how much i want to lose the weight i cannot get food off my mind! I started weight watchers today and I did stay within my points for the day...then I ate a little extra, not much but I just can't believe myself! I just can't believe myself! Its embarrassing to say but I think i am addicted to food. can anybody help me? this is very embarrassing to admit but i have no other way around it. its the truth, food is my weekness, i don't even think i know how to reconize hunger signals anymore, i eat for everything! and i am scared because i NEED to lose the weight. I am 5'3" and weigh 252lbs. I am scared for my life and i hate the way i look and feel. i am ready for a change but i can't seem to curb my food cravings. i am really trying please don't think i am just some fatty who doesn't care, i really do. this really hurts.

im really sorry you feel that way, it made me sad to read your post. i would try finding something else to occupy that thought of food in your mind. do you have a hobby or skill that you could take up instead? another thing that might work would be that for every time the idea of food comes into your mind, do some sort of physical exercise. it doesnt have to be intense by any means...just something to get your mind somewhere else. maybe a few push ups or jumping jacks? go shopping, talk on the phone, go online, etc. before you reach for something to eat, stop and think to yourself "why am i eating?" this can help determine your hungry signals. if you think its purely out of boredom, emotional reasons, etc, then try to cut back on that type of eating. if you are truly hungry, eat something healthy and satisfying. do you have trouble eating the right types of foods? you might also want to consider talking to a counselor to get to the root of the problem. they are different than psychiatrists and wont pick you apart and analyze you lol. or maybe a nutritionist? just a few ideas. trust me i dont think you are just some fatty who doesnt care! i wish you the best

get a hobby! do something you like to do, and stick to that instead of eating, keep yourself busy with activitites and fun things with friends/siblings. play sports, be creative/artistic, read, play games! have fun!

OMG. You are a pretty big person. Well first of all I would recommend you consider buying Herbalife. I lost abou5 30 pounds with them. Trust me its the best way. If you can't access Herbalife products then I might suggest you follow this diet.

Breakfast: Protein Shake
Lunch: Normal lunch just don't exceed it
Snack: Between Lunch and Dinner
Dinner: Protein Shake

With this you should take a multivitamin pill and green tea.

This would help you lose weight really quick. I hope this helps you.

is our nature we eat it.. as long as it is healthy for your health.. you dont have to worry

You don't have to stop your food cravings just have to feed yourself with low fat and low protein diet.Keep the energies on and loads of salads,fruits,yogurts and juices will work well.

I think a lot of the trouble is in our minds, we really dont "need" that chocolate bar, it just makes us feel good to eat it. We all get cravings, but there are things we can do about it.

I like the "eat this, not that" articles, they help you save alot of calories and the alternative food choices still taste pretty good.

Hi,


There are many weight and fat loss programs. These weight loss program includes the consumption of herbal pills and nutritionally rich balanced diets to aid weight loss. This is because contrary to the fad diets, these are made up of healthy food products which provide optimum nutrition and therefore does not affect health adversely and cause weight loss at the same time. Herbalife products are successful in increasing the grades of stamina and energy and while it is true that they control the desire for food by means of suppressing hunger.
