Food Addiction

So I just read a very interesting article on line and I recognized myself in the descriptions in the article.  I have known for a while that I have an addiction to food but today I am going to beat this addiction.  I have made a list of all the trigger foods and how they make me feel when I consume them.  it isn't something I need to avoid temporarily, I need to avoid them forever.  I can't give in and have even one bite.  As soon as I do that it releases something in my brain and makes me crave it even more and then the binging happens and I want to stop this.  I am miserable in so many ways when I give in to my addiction.

I know what to do it is just a matter of putting on my big girl pants and just doing it.  I want to beat this addiction and reap the  rewards of doing that.  It is going to be hard when I go down east but it isn't something I can put on hold any longer.  The weight keeps piling on and I keep feeling worse and worse (mentally and physically).  Each day that I am successful with this the stronger I will get to avoid my trigger foods.  It is such a huge step but I am jumping in with both feet and no looking back.  I will take it each day at a time.

Instead of buying a journal I will document how I do on my blog.  I will write my entry at the end of each day which will include what I ate, what I did and how I feel.  I also need to avoid spending so much time on my computer :(   that is a huge problem too.

Well I must go and get ready for my day…going to go to the mall and get a few things and maybe I will look for something to indicate how many days I have been "clean".

Here is to a rewarding journey :)
