How Can I Stop Addiction to Certain Foods?
Question by Katherine: How can I stop addiction to certain foods?
Mainly fast food…it’s not an addiction really but more that I cave whenever I think I’m doing good at staying away from fast food and soda. I’ve been trying but it’s just hard. What’s a good way to stop? Just self control? I don’t know if that is enough for me.
I feel so guilty. I just ate a burger and I haven’t gone to the gym today either. I even thought about canceling my membership but as much as it takes a tole on my paycheck it would take a tole on me even more if I didn’t exercise.
I also have a problem of eating when I’m upset. I’ve noticed the pattern.
I don’t want to end up like a cousin of mine at more than 300 pounds, constantly eating all day and doing nothing or having any concern for my health. I’m already at 225! Yes I know that is a lot. I’m fat. I realize that but how can I get help? Free clinics?
What about if I get the urge for fast food I go to subway? Aren’t they better? I mean if I got roast chicken or turkey or something on wheat with no mayo or anything like that. Or if I do go to mcdonalds or burger king I get a salad instead. Could that work and I could slowly pull away from fast food?

Just pure self control, I had to stop drinking alcohol, and I used watching funny shows and video games, martial arts to occupy me. Since October last year, I been doing great! 😀
I also lost weight and I can sleep better at night!
Same goes with these nasty greasy foods made from cow parts ground up, bones, cartilage, feet, ears, and you’re eating it! 😮
Just think of how nasty these are, may help you, like how alcohol is a bunch of crap that can kill your liver.

You have already made the biggest step!
Realising it is bad and wanting to change.
It is self-control and discipline, but the feel good factor will help you.
You also need to break a routine and start a new one.
You feel bad if you have the food and skip the gym.
Do you feel good if you avoid the food and go to the gym? Yes!
Now it is all about setting a goal and working towards it, No bad food for a week and attend gym.
When you reach the goal – feel pleased and reward yourself! Go for a one-off lavish meal buy yourself something, think of the money saved on those take-aways!
Once you hit one goal set yourself another – even higher. You will soon get into a routine of good life.
Best of luck!
