Why do I keep overeating??? What really is the problem.

I am really good at exercise but I have had a difficult time getting the diet thing under control. This time I decided to see a shrink about loosing weight. She taught me to talk to my food. Each time im faced with a decision to eat or not eat something ask myself who is in control. that food or me. Next I learned that im an emotional eater and im a food addict. In the past the only way i lost weight was starvation. Balance has been a struggle. so I recently figured out that the largest part of my problem is that I am facing a addiction issue. This article is what I finally learned is happening to me. Now that I understand this I'm finally loosing weight. Its so much easier now that I figured this out. If you are like me than I hope this information helps you. ........................................................................................ ....http://authoritynutrition.com/how-to-overcome-food-addiction/....................................................
Of course, we all need to eat something. Otherwise we’ll die of starvation. But no one needs to eat sugar, refined wheat flour or any of the modern junk foods that people tend to lose control over. Most food addicts will never be able to eat junk food like “regular” people again. That’s the cold, hard truth. But if they manage to avoid the “trigger foods,” then they should be able to eat healthy and lose weight without problems. The truth is… complete abstinence is the only thing that reliably works against addiction. The sooner you accept that, the sooner you will recover. Although the “everything in moderation” message may work for some people, this advice is a complete disaster for food addicts. When it comes to addiction, moderation fails. Every time.
