Day 4- Food Addiciton

My drug of choice was food and I was addicted. I caught myself the past two weeks slipping into old habits. I truly in all essence of the word was addicted to food. It was my crutch, my way of coping with everyday life. Sterss/Anxiety/Happiness/Sadness focused around good. Pound by pound I gained, the more I gained the worse I felt inside.

But I will not fail.

I spoke with a friend who had some great advice and things to do to help overcome the compulsive eating or want to eat.

I made a posit note on my android phone and put some inspirational/motivational quotes that I can reference at any time.

Go to the gym.

Talk yourself through the craving, literally have an internal or out loud dialogue about the craving. Why are you craving it? Is there an emotion behind it? What will eating this gain? How will I feel after I eat this? Is it helping me achieve my goals.

Stay busy. Do chores, activities, go for a drive, listen to music distract yourself. DO SOMETHING OTHER THAN EAT!

I also need a side by side comparison to help me remember where I came from and how far I have gone...
