Addicted to Food?
I want to start by saying that I’m not a professional
of any kind when it comes to this subject. I’m merely putting out my thoughts
and feelings. If you are dealing with any mental/physical problems regarding
food/eating, or of any kind, please seek out professional help.
The other day I was watching a lady talk about the
dangers of vaping and then she went on talking about addiction. When she was
defining “addiction” it really caught my attention. I tried searching for that
specific definition and this is the closest I could find.
According to Medical News Today, addiction is a psychological and physical
inability to stop consuming a chemical, drug, activity or substance even though
it is causing psychological and physical harm.
Am I addicted to eating? Well, now I’m controlling and
restricting myself a bit, but when I wasn’t, I would just eat constantly, fully
aware of what it was doing to my body (on the inside and on the outside). And I
wouldn’t be satisfied with just anything, no way. I had to have sugar or salty
snacks, just the worst things for my health. Was I addicted?
I really like diving into stuff like this that makes
me think about what I was/am doing to myself and I realize that when I am
thinking about my relationship with food is when I do better. Whenever I stop
thinking about it and just go on autopilot, eating whatever, whenever, is when
things go South.
