How to know junk food addiction symptoms: Inside the mind of a Junk Food Addict
Do you find the habit below familiar?

Eating until I’m stuffed or drugged to sleep
Driving by Mac Donald's and still thinking of the burger and fries 10 minutes later
Not able to predict when the binge will stop
Knowing i am sick, dying, scared and angry
Craving sweet, sticky greasy food
Eating to feel better and always feeling worse (tired & depressed)
Feeling helpless and hopeless
Eating for comfort and believing food is my friend
Getting mad when someone eats the last one
Lying to myself and others
Hating how i look and feel
Full of shame and hides to eat treats
Questioning why i am so weak
Wondering if there is a way out

There are many consequences from being addicted to junk food. We can lose our job, our family, our health, and our mind. Life can become completely unmanageable. It’s important to realize we need to be healed from within from food addiction.

Many doctors who prescribe diet pills will also prescribe sleeping pills. Why?

Inspiring Quotes About Sugar & Food Addiction Recovery

I just love to read inspiring quotes. I believe food addicts all need the same guidance and support as alcoholics. Inspiring quotes have been very helpful when negative thoughts are being whispered in my ears. You know, those little sweet nothings that are out to destroy us little by little.

We might even feel fear of what can we possibly eat for our next meal. We lack confidence in our decision making. Being addicted to sugar and food can be a constant battle in our brain.
There are times when we are struggling that we cannot think clearly, especially if we are going through a very stressful time.

It can be as simple as when we are finishing our meal we hear, "oh come on just a little bit more". We may also experience thoughts of fear, like, "but what if things don't work out the way there suppose to".

So, I encourage you, everyday, seek inspiration!

One Day At A Time
When in Doubt, Leave It Out
The Courage To Change The Things I Can
Plan What You Do, And Do What You Plan
Eat For Nutrition
Eat With Gratitude
Nothing Taste As Good As Thin
God Doesn't Make Junk, and God Doesn't Make Junk Food

What is the best Healthy Diet To Treat and Get Rid Of Type 2 Diabetes

Type 2 diabetes is treated with a combination of healthy meal planning, physical activity, medications, and perhaps insulin. The easiest and best way is to just start to eat more vegetables and take out all the white stuff, know as simple carbohydrates. Why? It’s because sugar is what is killing us! Just doing this alone can make a significant difference to get rid of Type 2 Diabetes by lowering your blood sugar.
Here are just a few of the reasons that sugar is killing you:

Refined sugar also causes extreme fluctuations in your blood sugar, and excess blood sugar causes Glycation inside your body, which accelerates the rate of aging of your organs, skin, arteries, and joints.
Sugar is also responsible for raising the triglycerides to dangerous levels, which can lead you to heart disease.
In addition, eating sugar with type 2 diabetes will eventually wear out your pancreas and insulin sensitivity.
One of the worse reasons why sugar will kill you, sugar also slows down your white blood cells, making infection more likely, and even allowing CANCER cells a better chance to form in your body.

Well you already know that sugar makes you fat, and gives you excess calories without any beneficial nutrients whatsoever.Remember that damage sugar does to our body, we're NOT talking about tiny amounts such as having 5 grams of sugar from a teaspoon of agave or coconut sugar in your coffee in small amounts are not a problem.
The REAL culprit is when you have that soft drink with 45 grams of sugar or donut and ingest 40-50 grams of sugar in one sitting, or more. What about that smoothie someone told you was so-called "healthy" at the local yogurt shop and you ended up having 80 grams of sugar because of added fruit syrup they use in them.
Many people, when they’re first diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, are overweight, so making healthy lifestyle changes like consuming less calories and portion sizes and moving the body more can help them get to a healthier weight. Healthy meal planning changes and exercise are the main lifestyle changes we can all do to avoid or get rid of type 2 diabetes. This will help people lose weight, which in turn can help their bodies use insulin much better.
As for getting your body to move more, we offer tips on how to get started on a moderate exercise plan. We will get you started on the types of exercise are good for you specifically depending on your limitations and how far the type 2 diabetes has progressed. Some people who has a moderate to poor level of type 2 diabetes do have to take insulin. They do not have to settle for the medication forever. In many cases individuals just need to get on a solid weight loss system along with a dependable and caring supportive team of people in their circle of life. Once they start to feel better they can do follow-up visits so the doctor can test their blood sugar levels and other systems that one may have experienced.
