Gilly and Tessie Rose both talked about this. yesterday. It's my turn.
Hello. My name is Dawnya and I'm a food addict.
Yes I am. Here is the thing. I didn't think I was...until today. Yup...you read that right. I'm a fat girl who didn't think I had a problem. See I knew I had an issue with sugar. But not with food as a whole.
Today i was reading an article written by a young lady named Erika who has lost 175 lbs. She always talks about how she overcame her addiction to food. I'm like...is that even possible. Can I really over come this addiction. How?! When?! Well I finally think I can. It's going to be a long journey...a long journey...but I'm going to give it a try.
I'll keep yall updated. Good gosh...I have so many issues. I'm glad yall still read this thing. LOL

I know I'm a food addict. When you break your addiction, let me know how you did it!
Hello my name is Kristin and I am a food addict! I think when you get to where we all were with our weight we must be! :)
I totally understand not realizing you were something then finally getting it. I never thought I was an emotional stress eater, but I have found out that yep...I am. Luv ya girl!
Well, the first part is knowing. But, I think a food addiction is one of the hardest things to deal with, because unlike drugs or shoes, you can't live without food. And to be fair, food these days is engineered to be addictive.
I'm glad you've come to this realization, but I hope you don't blame yourself entirely.
Yep sadly I am too!
I am very much so a food addict, I like to think of you ladies as my support group meetings. We have are own personal online AA type meetings set up.
Well at least we're in good company!
I am a food addict. 100% - it's a battle I've been losing lately, but I'm not giving up. I don't think I'll ever fully overcome it, but I can be conscience of it. And get support from everyone here.
Well at least we aren't the lone ranger!
All kidding aside, I've always known I was a food addict. And it does help to know I'm not alone.
I'm a sweet addict. Is a sweet addict the same thing as a food addict? I can go without eating real food all day but I have to have some type of sugar.
I'm definitely a food addict too! I really think food addiction is the hardest to kick because you can't just quit eating!
My word, we should all form a meeting - I'll bring the coffee because I too can join the group..
"Hi Dawnya!" Isn't that how all support groups start? It's funny you mention a problem with sugar...I think the sugar addiction is closely linked with the food addiction. Generally, you don't see people snacking on steak and veggies in the car...you see candy bars, sandwiches, french fries, etc. It's all sugar. I know you can overcome your food addiction. I think we all can with some hard work, a little bit luck and support like we get here. You can do it!
We're all there with you. it is a viscious cycle and one I don't know if we can ever truly break free because we need food to survive. Just knowing you're not alone makes it a little better though.
Hello, my name is Jenny and I am a food addict too. Food with Sugar. UGH! Ima call you my sugar mama, mkay?
Hi Dawnya! I know I'm an addict as well. I just keep approaching it one day at a time. Keep at it, sister!
Hi Dawnya, My name is Vanessa and I am a sugar/food addict. My only problem with admitting this and the whole OA thing is admitting I am powerless over it. I just cant get with that powerless word! I will overcome it and so will you! You rock!
Hi everyone, I'm Rahshell and I too am a food addict :( Moving with the toddlers has reduced me to convenience meals and now my want for carbs is out of control.
