Food Addiction

Surprising Thoughts From the Voice of Experience
When Weight Gain Balloons Into Tears of Obesity

Are you finding that you're to the point that you just don't care if you gain weight? This is a situation that even many overweight people may not be able to relate to - when weight takes over and totally controls your life.

If this sounds familiar, odds are this is what is going on - and I'm speaking from the voice of experience. When food becomes an addiction, the reaction is different in some people, than in other people - just like all addictions.

Some people may be mildly affected, while others are totally dependent on the addiction because they enjoy it so much. They don't care if it kills them, just as long as they get to keep doing what they like to do.

That is how I was, many, many years ago. I loved eating so much that it became the main focus in my life. I woke up thinking about what I was going to eat that day, and I'd go to bed thinking about what I was going to eat tomorrow.

At meal time, I just didn't load up my plate, I overloaded it. At one time in my life, I had been extremely poor and there was no money - not even for food. My father had grown a garden, and had shared some of the green beans and potatoes that my mother had canned. Those green beans and potatoes, a bag of flour, and a bit of oil for making flour cakes with water, was the only food available. I had no knowledge of shelters, and places that would provide help.

After that time, I promised myself that I would never go hungry again - and that's when the big weight gain fuse was lit - combined with a few other things in my life at the time. And somewhere along the way, things picked up speed to a point where I was totally out of control with my eating.

I was able to overcome obesity, to lose weight, to gain better health on my own - but I had to reach a point to where I wanted to lose weight more than I wanted to overeat. And I made some very big mistakes that could have cost me my life - and I don't want that to happen to any of my readers.

The situation described above is again something that many overweight people may not understand. There are tiers of obesity that explain my belief - and many times, tears of obesity.
