Oh my God, yeah. I've been at this thing for a long time -- this trying to get a handle on my incredibly unhealthy relationship with food. For some reason, though, this time around I'm not beating myself up too badly when I "slip." I keep thinking of how, in a good book, the hero/ine often seems to be in real trouble as…

Oh, I know food addiction too, Tiranoua. You are not alone. And while MarkItZero makes a good point in adding the quotation marks -- "addiction" -- it's also true that the same chemical processes can often be at work within us food addicts as within, for instance alcoholics.
