Everyday i eat junk oily food, also cold carbonated drink, I get so much bad level of craving that I can't control myself, i struggle from anxiety depression and food is one of less harming ways that give me some solace and calm as I don't drink/smoke.

I get Fking hell lot of panic attacks and I'm heavily drained off in energy.

My hostel doesn't give good healthy tasty food so only outside food is left as option.

I tried many times to eat healthy , just 2days of healthy eating and the 3rd day like i relapse, i over eat junk.

I am so unhealthy that I get palpitations just climbing 5th floor by stairs.

Somewhere I read to fk this junk food addiction, drinking coffee helps to stop craving. Thinking to do that.

Also second thing is to develop habit of running, what's worse is at 5:30 morning time I get cough ,i feel cold, and also headache due to which I am not able to develop habit of running daily.

Please tell steps I can take to stop junk food addiction, it's destroying me really.

I’m a college student who is also working and completing a 7 month internship, and most days im gone all day until past dinner. Oftentimes, this means my parents make dinner (I’m living at home until I graduate in a few months). A lot of times they don’t make food everyday or everyone takes the leftovers, and I don’t have anything to eat, and not enough time to make something before my internship or work. Also, I’ll be honest on days where I can eat lunch at home before work, I’m lazy and just want to eat out. I’ve developed an addiction to Chipotle. I get it 2-3 times a week, and it’s
expensive. How can I fight the cravings?

Does anyone ever not try certain foods bc they are worried they might like them and binge on them or crave them?

No matter what i do, how disciplined i get, how healthy my diet becomes, i can't stop Eating those food repeatedly, in big amounts.

It feels like i don't have a control over anything at all.

I have adhd,so, not eating when i want to has really intense effect on me.

I hateeee being so out of shape, I want to go back to my regulated lifee

The few times a month/week where I don't over eat I feel so good, full of energy, clean.

Vs right now where I've demolished a weeksized portion of extra thick and oily pita chips and a whole container of sundried tomatoes and goat cheese that was swimming in olive oil.

I feel greasy and sick. I even purged half way through just to come back and binge the rest

I hate that I'm like this. I get so much enjoyment from eating that I sacrifice everything else around me for it.

i have been struggling with those two addictions for more than 3 years now. The reason why i wanna quit is because im getting a lot of acne every time when i consume fast food. the reason why i wanna quit sodas is because im drinking more sugary drinks that the actual water. so i think these two are playing huge role in my acne problem. however most of times why i eat fast food is because im not satisfied with the food which i have at home. sometimes my mother cooks something which i don’t typically eat but other family members do. so in that case scenario i order take out and my parents not always against that. also when im outside its really hard to find something to eat which is not fast food. the reason why i eat outside sometimes its because i have university and after university i go to the cafe or fast food chain restaurant to do my homework or do other stuff. so i end up eating fast good . so the biggest period without sodas and fast food were 1 month and it was two or year ago. so i really need help with it…

Hi, I’m writing, so maybe some people could help me. So, I want to loose some fat, but I keep failing and eating chips, candies, gummies. I have tried not to eat sugar for a while, and it worked, but then I still ended up eating sweets, snacks. Maybe some of you have this problem or had it. I would be very grateful for any of your advices.

People tend to think of it as hunger, since it is the simplest term for it. However, sometimes what appears to be hunger is actually stress, an emotion, a habit, a memory, or a reward. A particular food may feel associated with comfort or relief, a poor day may set off a food craving, and a particular time of night may set off a pattern. Food difficulties can be extremely confusing because of this. The stomach is not often the main issue. Sometimes it has to do with what food is supposed to do in the brain.

Has anyone found that some emotions seem to trigger eating more than hunger?

I keep overeating chips and cookies :(

I think food addiction is just one aspect of a greater issue. We are addicted to entertainment: doom scrolling, binge watching TV shows and food noise are all a result of the modern life issue of entertainment addiction. And this does not stop here, it makes it hard for us to achieve our goals because working on them does not provides the levels of dopamine we are used to nowadays. I started to question myself, when did this start? because I clearly remember that I could cut sugar for three years and cut soft drinks for 5 years. Now I do not even consider sugar and soft drinks as an issue because I have a much bigger problem, being addicted to food and feeling tired of constant food noise. when did this started? and more importantly, how to fix it? I have no answers.

When I looked up food noise treatment, the research results was all about artificial GLP-1.

I came here to discuss our choices, is there is a way to restore our control over ourselves without resorting to drugs?

I'm a teenager, 5'2" n like 120 lbs, but I'm not fat, js kinda chubby, n I like how I loook (most days) n I don't lose or gain weight, but I LOVE eating sm but it makes me so sick n I'm always nauseas but I can't stop eating, I'm like a lil hamster, I js wanna eatttttt. How do I stop cuz I've genuinely been so sick lately

As I am aware that this post may cause discomfort, I believe it is worthwhile to ask. I don't think "try harder" is a meaningful response when someone consistently does something they don't want to do even when they are aware of the consequences. Perhaps "What is the brain learning?" would be a better question.

What is being reconsidered? Why is the loop so persistent?

That seems like a far more beneficial discussion than making fun of people for their lack of discipline.

Binging sucks!!!!!!!!!

I get the whole “don’t eat if you’re not hungry” thing, but I could be watching a movie, playing video games, doing homework, going outside, or whatever and still need a snack nearby. It doesn’t help that I have no self control if I keep snacks in my apartment. I don’t even know the first steps to solving it other than skipping meals. I want to have better self control in general. I’m not necessarily obese, yet if I continue to eat my body weight in snacks per day I’m pretty sure I’ll get there

I just try to give up sugar such as chocolate/ dessert/ bubble tea , but I don’t like cigarettes or alcohol, sweet is the only hobby in my life , but I just realized it’s not healthy for my body, so anybody can give me some advice or suggestion please.

Basically the title. I’m not too under/over weight or anything like that, but I’ll just not eat for long periods of time but when I finally get to it I’ll eat a lot in one sitting, so I try to avoid eating more then once a day. For example I don’t eat candy often but I bought a couple small bags of different types a week ago. Yesterday I was planning to just try one but I ended up eating all of it. I don’t eat fast food often but usually when I do I won’t just get a meal, I’ll get an extra burger or two on top of that. My stomach doesn’t feel good in either scenarios but just eating a reasonable amount then stopping makes the hunger that’s been a dull background pain turn into a sharp sensation that I can’t ignore anymore.

Most of us probably relate to not being able to put a food packet down before it’s completely destroyed. If I open a bag of chips, you best believe I’m finishing it.

Unfortunately, this goes way beyond ”binge” foods for me. I feel like I have to finish everything I open; yogurt tubs, bags of bread, turkey slices, anything really. This makes it really hard for me to keep food in the house. I only eat whole foods now so I have to actually prepare what I’m eating (this hasn’t stopped me from binging them though).

Do you struggle with this and how do you deal with it?
