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

    hey roxanne! I just want to say that I am so encouraged by your honesty. I too have struggled on and off with what i call my "food obsession" Where at times I am obsessed with needed more sugar.. like i need it everyday. or i can get to the other extreme where i am obsessed with counting calories. it is a frustrating battle and i've learned that a lot of people struggle with this. you are so awesome and I know that you can meet your goals. I find that when I cut the sweets (which is my problem) it is SO hard but after a week I feel great and I don't crave them anymore. So you can do it! get past the first few days and it will get easier!
    you are a beautiful person inside and out and remember that everyday :)
    xoxo
