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

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!

When in Doubt, Leave It Out

Plan What You Do, And Do What You Plan

Eat With Gratitude
Nothing Taste As Good As Thin
