Food Addiction - Roxanne

So lately I've been reading up on food addiction, because I am fairly certain that I have lived the last few years of my life as a food addict. Although research shows that food can effect the brain in food addicts the same way that alcohol or drugs effect the brain of addict - the good thing is that food addiction is not as strong as either of these other substance abuse issues.
This of course means that it will be easier to break, which is what I am currently working on.
(If you would like to read a completely nerded out article on this : http://www.nerdfitness.com/blog/2010/08/02/how-to-fight-your-food-addiction-and-win/)

So presently what I am attempting is to live with guidelines on my life.
My first one is following a menu
And not purchasing any junk food.

If you have any more suggestions or good articles to read on this topic, please leave a comment - I'd love to hear from you!

Always trying again,
-Roxanne
