okay, food addiction means you eat to make yourself feel better when you are nervous, bored, lonely, depressed, sad, angry, or just not totally happy - you get the picture... anyways, to stop your addiction you need to stay away from foods your addicted to, like junk food or fast food, same as an alcoholic has to stay away from bars. . and you gotta go throuhg like 'detox'. . you will feel real bad cravings and nervous for a couple of weeks, then it gets better and better til you don't hardly miss the junk food.. okay, you still with me?, the second thing you gotta do is come up with things to do instead of eating when you feel nervous, bored, or stuff, like call a friend, take your dog for a walk, start a hobby, play a musical instrument, read a book, do a project, or anything you enjoy besides eating... and no second helpings or super sizes which is also part of food addiction.. . that's a lot to do i know and its not easy, but you are worth it!!! and we are here to help each other get through it, like comin off a drug... so go for it!!!! kk
