im not expecting anyone on this forum to give me a phycological analysis of my condition, i just wanted to share it with somebody...at this point ive been eating
whatever i wanted all of the time and idk its like i have a mental addiction to bad food...

at this point ill look for any excuse to drop my diet and eat loads of food nonstop til my stomach is ready to explode...everyday pretty much i say im going to eat this food no excuse, but soon enough something happens and i say, forget it todays a cheat day...i hate it but subconsiously i dont want to give up these foods...

again i am not asking anyone to drop what their doing and solve my problem, but im just asking anyone for ideas on how i can break this mental addiction...?
 
Well, there are the standard answers - you know, all the stuff about getting dedicated and making the decision to change your ways. But, that's all easier said than done, especially when it's being said by people so dedicated to fitness that they barely remember what normal peanut butter tastes like and haven't seen a Quarter Pounder since the 90s. (you know who you are ;) )

For the rest of us mere mortals, it's a daily freakin' battle not to lose it and eat everything in sight. A mental condition? - who knows. I think it has more to do with the fact that we can't even wake up in the morning without being told in every conceivable way that we should all look like Brad and Angelina, but eat like Dan and Roseanne Connor. Don't you just love seeing a billboard of McDonalds right next to one for Victoria's Secret?

All you can do is try. One thing that helps me is making smaller changes rather than trying to go balls to the wall. It feels less overwhelming that way.
Make 3 small goals for the day and only worry about those 3 small goals. Something like 1. drink X amount of water 2. eat a healthy breakfast 3. park farther away and walk
Get those down, then in a few days, add 3 more, and so on.
 
Tony Robbins talks a lot about leverage. Basically, if you don't have a reason to change, you won't. He talks a LOT about pain and pleasure. Right now, eating=pleasure and dieting=pain. As long as this is true it'll be almost impossible to change. So (still according to him) you need to change this around. Whether your leverage is being healthy, strong, attractive, living long enough to see your kids grow up, whatever it is, those have to become your pleasure and they MUST outweigh the pain of dieting.

I'm sure other people have said the same thing, but Robbins has a very good way of approaching his material that's very motivating and fun to listen to.

Either way, good luck!
