Answer by Sara B
Although I am not heavy, I also have an addiction to food. It is difficult to stop. I have recently gotten it somewhat under control. Try to determine what is causing you to eat so much. Do you eat when you are upset, bored, lonely, sad? Try to address what is causing you to be sad, upset, or lonely instead of turning to food. Think of how you feel after you overeat. Usually not too good, remind yourself it’s not worth it and try to do something else to occupy yourself. If you are overweight, your doctor may be able to prescribe an appetite suppressant if he feels it necessary So if you can, try talking to him/her about it. In the meantime, try gaining support from others who are going through the same thing. Try looking at http://www.50millionpounds.com if you’re trying to lose weight.
