Introduction

Okay, so I'm scared to have this as a public blog but I need to put myself out there and admit to more than just myself that I have a problem. So, recently I have been trying everything under the sun to lose weight and become more self confident. Unfortunately, nothing has worked, I just crave food so much and of course it's not healthy food that I'm craving. So I was thinking about it and decided to do a little bit of research on food addictions. I found a book called Anatomy of a Food Addiction by Anne Katherine. I am very excited but also saddened at the same time. I have to come to realize that to a point that food is controlling me! I look at people that are addicted to smoking, or other habits that are harmful to you and I've said to myself before, why can't they just stop? They see the facts they know that it's killing them so why don't they just stop. Well, I have a whole new respect for any kind of addict because I know it is harder than HECK to "just stop" as I so simply put it. In the book it talks about how some foods have chemicals in them that are just like drugs. They cloud your judgement, they give you hangovers and huge mood swings. So, throughout this blog I'm going to take you on my journey of overcoming this addiction. I know I have hurt myself and loved ones and even my future family by having this addiction and I plan on kicking it in the but and never looking back.
