Since I’ve been on my gut healing & weight loss journey I have thought a lot about addiction. It’s really hard to admit you have a food addiction because everybody needs to eat in order to live.
There were several things that made me realize that I was addicted to food & THAT was the biggest culprit which exacerbated my Crohn’s issues & inability to get healthier & lose weight.
Maybe you can relate to these too…
Going past a McDonalds & instantly wanting to devour a large fry & 20 piece nugget whether I was hungry or not (And I did smash the ENTIRE meal!)
“Having” to have something sweet after dinner & eat in front of the tv.
Seeing other people eating, especially food I restricted or labeled as “bad,” longing to do so regardless if I had just eaten.
Hiding food & eating when your friends & family don’t know you are. I’d binge then throw it all up.
And just plain feeling out of control!
I’m sure you understand the feeling of waking up in the morning & saying you’re “going to do better today” & then you fail miserably like you did the day before.
Maybe you’re like I was. You’d go to bed at night & say that “tomorrow will be another day & you’ll start working out & eating right.” Then you don’t.
I remember saying one time if food were liquor, I would be drunk every day.
It’s taken over 2 decades to build the body you see today, I’ve been every shape & size! If I can do it, so can you!
