People who haven't struggled with food addiction can't even begin understand how difficult it truly is to deal with.

Food addiction is the HARDEST addiction to overcome. I have literally overcome it several times, even spent years at normal weights, but it always comes back again because you can't just quit food and every time you eat food addiction tempts you to overdo it.

I dont crave certain kinds of food; i just crave the eating and tasting part.

[Thefitty]

Food addiction is a real thing. Whether you're overweight or not.

I hate this addiction. I feel the toll it has on my body and I know I’m on a dangerous road but I still can’t stop myself

[rodrigoalvarez]

I am a very active person who can get over this fucking addiction and it's sad to see how little support there is for it in a society who wants to pretend the foods we are eating everyday is normal food.

People who are naturally thin, I feel can never understand a person with food addiction. Even though I have lost 150 pounds, I am addicted to food and the worst part is that I am a emotional eater/ I struggle daily 🧘🏾‍♂️😞

"How did you beat your you don't, once an addict always an addict. You just have to take it one day at a time and one bite at a time.

[stepheniespetcare]

I'd swap my addiction for another! Like smoking. Just go cold turkey.
You Have to eat. It's hard.

I am a comfort eater I was super skinny and healthy but I have experienced trauma and I turned to food . Food became my best friend food is the only thing that made me feel good about myself and it don’t help when my family criticized me all the time I want to get over this addiction but it’s like my body tells me I have to eat even if I’m not hungry my body just tells me I have to eat now or I’m gonna die I don’t know what to do

[nepatriots]

I feel like being stressed at work has made me create a new type of relationship with food and it's not good. I feel like if I go down this path, it's going to become much more problematic.

I need help. I’m either overeating or starving myself. I have been 115 to 218 in my adult life and every weight in between. Before the pandemic, I was a size 4 almost a 2. I lost so much weight that my nurse at my doctors office did not recognize me. Months later, I gained all of the weight back. I’m considering gastric sleeve surgery. How do I stop the bad habit without doing something so drastic?

Food addiction is real and can do damage to life in many ways.

Everyone's just ignoring the host on the left.

[katedelamare]

I love how the go-to is giving it over to God. Like the problem isn't praying enough. Um, no.

[emilyhops]

Christ alive, they make out that unless you're religious you wont win. Bollocks.
