hi, I.am Becca I am 55 andneedto lose 80 lbs. looking for a friend to take this journey with.

You aren't alone in your struggles - many people on here suffer with what they call 'food addiction'. In most cases, it isn't food addiction at all. You just haven't found anything to distract you from it yet Once you find that motivation, you won't feel like you HAVE to eat. I know it's easier said than done but sometimes it helps to ask yourself just how important your goal is before you knowingly over-eat. It helped me hugely. I also tell myself "Instead of eating that burger, I'm going to do something productive and look forward to my healthy nutricious meal later!".
