Food addiction ?

How many of you here would have (or still do) consider yourself to be a food addict ?

I mean, I guess their are some people who really do have a poor metabolism, and who maybe did try to watch what they ate.... but still ended up heavier than they would prefer.... or, than was healthy.

NOT ME ! For years, I ate like an absolute pig ! 6000 to 8000 calories a day ! Grams of sugar and fat per day ? Are you kidding me ? Pounds of sugar and fat would have probably been a better way to describe it !

It still amazes me that I only got up to 268 lbs..... while two of my good buddies are weighing about 480 and 580 right now, eating no worse than I ever did :( {I'm so worried about these guys :(}

Anyway, I have times when I start to think, "Their isn't no way I'd ever eat like that again ! And, I'm not EVER going to be that unhealthy again" !

But then I have to stop and ask myself..... How much (if any) different, was my food addiction, than drug addiction, or alcoholism ? The last 20+ years has shown me (or at least, it sure should have) what I am capable of !

This is why I am SOOO freaking afraid of "just one small piece of cheese cake".... "just one piece of fried food" ....."just one piece of pizza".

I mean, to me that would be like telling a crackhead.... "here's 10 lbs of crack.... but you can only have 1 hit a day" ! :confused:
Yea' ! Sure ! And how long do you think that's going to work ?

How many of you are in the same boat with me on this one ?

Your thoughts ?

Peace,
Fish
