Food addiction begins when, at moments of distress in your life, you believe nothing but food can help. Once people regularly use food to relieve distress, it becomes a habit and is the food addict's favored way of dealing with distress.

And since distress is inevitable almost every day of your life, overeating will become a central part of your life. Distress can take many forms: disappointment and tension at home or at work, times when you are just too tired or too overwhelmed to deal with things. When you are convinced you cannot survive without your "fix" of food then you are addicted to food and certain to be overweight.

Is Food Addiction the Same As, Or Worse Than, Other Addictions?

All addictions have something in common. You use the substance to control your moods and feelings and to bring you relief from problems you do not know how to solve. In that sense, food addiction has the same base as alcoholism, smoking, and substance abuse in general.

The big difference is you can stop smoking and stop drinking and still live, but you can never stop eating without starving to death. So food addiction requires a careful plan to break the habit. But building and following this careful plan to break your addiction to food has an important added benefit. Because the plan to end food addiction requires you to learn how to think differently about your life, you will become a more mature person who can more effectively take care of yourself.
