Food addiction

Hello, my name is Rebecca and I am a food addict. Emotional eating, celebratory eating and gaping hunger at meals when I don't overeat are my constant companions. This morning I stepped on the scale and my weight is approaching 200 lbs. I've gained 40 lbs in 6 years.

It wasn't always this way. I used to be slim and fit. I craved healthy food. I could trust my body to tell me what it needed. I could have an occasional treat and it would be just that, occasional.

I think that is part of why it is so hard for me to really acknowledge how toxic my current relationship with food has become.
