This is something someone who battled food addition like myself once said that I'd like to share with everyone here.

"We might be addicted to food like a drug but one thing that differentiates us from drug abusers is no matter what, we must face our addictions head on every day for the rest of our lives. We have to eat to live everyday."

    I had an OA member tell me something similar once. If facing your addiction is like facing down a lion, we have it pretty hard - trying to take the lion out of its cage and play with it 3 times a day.

    It can be dangerous and require careful supervision sometimes, but you can stop imbibing alcohol or consuming recreational drugs. You can't stop putting food in your mouth.
