Yet another food addiction thread

spellblocktango

I know there are a lot of posts like this, but I didn't want to direct attention away from the problems other users are having. I struggle with that I believe is food addiction. It's especially bad at night, the desire to give into my cravings, but the temptation is always there. The sad thing is I hardly ever keep unhealthy food around me, so I only ever binge on healthy stuff (eating a whole box of protein bars, downing half a jar of natural peanut butter, that sort of ridiculous thing)

What makes it worse is that I live on-campus at college and the cafeteria food is 90% greasy unhealthy stuff (pizza, corndogs, bountiful desserts) and the same salad bar every single day with rotten-tasting toppings and flaccid lettuce. So I'm constantly anxious about the food that's around me. But on the other hand, walking all over campus means I burn a LOT more calories than I used to back home, so I can easily talk myself into a "treat" (which ends up making me feel worse)

Stop putting food into categories of either healthy or unhealthy. Most food is just "food."
