Most of us, if not all of us, have a food addiction/unhealthy relationship with food. One of the most common complaints/problems I read about on the forum are people who have headaches and other symptoms that describe withdrawal symptoms (from carbs, sugars, etc...). I think what amazes me the most- is that most people have no clue that their body is having withdrawals from all the crap many of us put into our system on a daily basis- even things we don't even think are that awful.

It doesn't matter what weight loss method you use, if you don't change your root behavior(s) it is nearly inevitable that you will gain the weight back again at some point.

Food addictions are very hard- and this is just my personal opinion- but much harder than any other addiction. I am not saying in any way shape or form that it is not easy to overcome other addictions and that it isn't always a struggle- but a food addiction is like no other addiction- in the fact that we need food to survive.

Breaking addictions is all about finding other ways to cope and deal with stressors in life. Sorry, I think I got a bit distracted there. My question is this- (because I am not at this point yet)- What fundamental changes did you make to break your food addiction?

Comments? Ideas? (from anyone)... I'm open for a good discussion on this topic.
