The food addiction I will be talking about in this blog is not the "I-love-food-so-much-Ican't-stop-eating." What we have here, is the type of food addiction that hinders someone, The type that folows one, day and night. The type that affects everything in one's life - from the moment they get up in the morning and have to walk up to the bathroom with acking knees (from the extra weight), to the next moment when deciding on what to have for breakfast and, on to putting on a mask to face the outside world. The type of addiction that affects one's health because the lifetime of food addiction has brought on a list of diseases such as hypothyrodism, insulin-resistance, pre-diabetic state and obesity.
Today, as every other day, I woke up thinking that this would be the day that I would be able to handle my addiction. As many other days, I started my day with "clean" food and a plan. It is now late night and I can assure you, I have failed again. While I wish I hadn't failed, I am also thankful for my clarity of how and why I have failed. See, I spent the entire last year, reading, researching via medical blogs, podcasts, YouTube presentations on Food Addiction and Obesity and despite of all my knowledge of the subject, I fail daily.
I will stop here. I will not stop here. I will continue to blog about my feelings, my knowledge and my struggles about being a food addict. My hope is that as I document these, my journey will get easier and I will find fellow addicts willing to share it. I you are out there, feel free to pipe in.
