What Are the First Steps in Controlling My Food Addiction?
Question by NINTENDO: What are the first steps in controlling my food addiction?
I have food addiction. It started when I was a child . My mother would feed me fatty food as a reward for finishing my studies.
As I grew up , anytime I did something related to working hard or studying, I would eat like crazy . Yesterday I had a shrimp basket with fried sweet plantains and chicken with rice from the street vendor .
That’s just yesterday. I been eating junk food for the past 3-4 weeks . Let me put it this way. Whenever I finish a hard project, I have to have Junk Food.
I am on a mission now and all this food addiction is messing up my mission and the health of my body. What’s the first step in putting a stop to this atrocity?

When you go to get food put it on a plate and only eat that much or before you eat drink water because sometimes when it seems like your hungry your really thirsty.

There is only one way and is to STOP!
Fatty foods are very adictive beacause your body gets filled with endorphines to balance the digestion of the food, thus you feel good by eating fatty foods beacause edorphine is the feel good hormone.
Most foods are only adictive for 2 weeks, if you succeed to stop eating these foods for 2 weeks you won’t crave them as mutch or even at all.
By working and eating healthy out you speed up the process of losing your adiction because workouts also give you high amounts of edorphines but leaves you starving. Get healthy foods to fill your belly and any time soon you will feel and look great.
I myself had an adiction for food, and now I love healthy food and I am completely adicted to working out, witch feels great. Give it a try.
Oh and one more thing, alcohol and cigarettes are also health crushers so don’t smoke, and avoid drinking to often
Old habits are hard to break, but with work are possible. The trick is not change everything at once. You’ll just end up feeling deprived. Take small steps. Focus on replacing soda with water for 14 days. That is how long studies show it takes to establish a new habit. Then add eating a healthy breakfast everyday. Then stop eating about 3 hours before bedtime. You get the picture. There will be times when you want to eat everything in sight. That will be the hardest. Be prepared! Always carry a small apple or veges with you. Always carry water with you. Brush your teeth after all your meals. If you haven’t started exercising, start. Get plenty of sleep. You can do it! As you start to feel better and better about yourself, you should have the motivation to continue. You will find those cravings for unhealthy foods will go away after a period of time. Good luck!
How about you stop making excuses and blaming your mum
your a big kid now you can make your own decisions about what you put in your mouth
no ones making you buy junk food, your the one making the conscious decision to do so, so you can always make the decision to eat healthy if you want too
