Is anyone else addicted to any food? I'm addicted to hot chitoes, and when I get my hands on a bag, I can't put it down!
I wouldn't say I'm adicted to food. I have noticed lately that I eat out of boredom a lot of the time.
Since my dad died all I do is eat! Mostly junk food!
I'm addicted to chocolate. I don't know why, but I am.
Food addiction is commonly used to cover the fact that one is hurting emotionally. It is usually brought on by a death in one's family, or something similar.
I agree. I eat allot of sweets when I'm stressed out. One time, I bought $24.00 in chocolate, which is two big bags full, and it only lasted me a week.
People say that eating too much chocolate will give you diabetes, or decrease your health. I don't care about that because, well, I'm going to die anyways. What's the point in eating healthy. I love chocolate and there's no such thing as enough.
Why would you want to die, hooked up to a bunch of stuff in a hospital bed at an early age, rather than live a long and healthy life?
And yes, chocolate is addicting.
Well, I'd rather die young than live a long life on earth. If you watch the news, there seem to be a lot of trouble in this world. I think this should be posted in the suicide topic.
Yes, there is a lot of grief in the world today, but you don't seem glad that it's not happening to you.
And in any case, I don't think this has to do with food addictions. Sorry for getting off subject. I love sweets.
Destroying your health will only make the time that you *are* living a misery! But I really don't feel up to getting into this messy tangent.
I am addicted to Sicilian green olives. They are heaven in food form!
Yes, I too eat when I'm bored, but I'm not generally a person who likes junk food, so it's not been a great problem. I don't often munch on chips or store-bought cookies, and I rarely buy candy. I only have ice cream when I'm out, then my favorite is rainbow sherbet.
I'd never eat, if I didn't have to. I enjoy the taste of food, but having to stop whatever I'm doing and prepare food, and eat is a nuissance; I wish eating were optional. If not optional, there should be the equivalent of dog food for humans. I'd love that. LOL Would make life so much easier.
I'm addicted to hot pockets. I eat 3 at a time! I also totally love fast food. I get so excited when dad goes to micDonalds. Fast food makes my mouth water! I also love french fries. I don't care how they're cooked! I just love them! That's partly why I love fast food so much is because of the delicious french fries I get with the meal. Yum!
I don't eat fast food that often, but when I do get the chance, it's prety damn good. I mean, one can't live foreveron that stuff.
When I live on my own, and if I had all the money in the world, it's fast food every day!
I'd hate to see what that stuff does to your arteries in the long run. You could opt to have your organs donated to someone who needed them when you died, but the transplant team won't take them unless they are in the best condition possible, and eating fast food on a daily basis won't help.
I like Joanne don't have fast food all that often, but whenI do, it's pretty good. I wouldn't say I'm adicted to food, but I do love it and if you give me a bag of doreetos or oreos, I might not stopp eating them. Although, I've gotten better about self control lately.
I love food in general.
Yeah I'm addicted to junkfood.
Food is so so so sooo goood! I spent almost my whole $761 plus like $500 I made from this concert I sang at dining out with my bf last month. Lol by the 15th of April all of it was gone! Plus went to sam's club twice and finished 2 cases of arizona ice tea, a case of ginger ale a few bags of chips, and other goodies. Lol and the strange thing is, I've lost weight! Yaaaaay for food!
Hmm doesn't sound like addiction, sounds more like what we would call getting carried away.
Real addicts, friends of mine who've gone off and become crackheads were unreachable, incapacitated, stole to get it, and this being before the feel goodies took over most things, we all ran them off because we didn't want them trying to steal our stuff or destroy things when the crack hit.
Yes it is possible of course, to get into the habit of eating when doing certain things. Also everyone's had it where you have a bowl of something in the office and sort of mindlessly munch on it. Getting carried away, or not thinking or whatever, but not addicted.
Only in modern society where we have 'portion control', and ingredients lists do we notice all this stuff. The scene from 'The Gods Must Be Crazy' where the bushman killed and prepared to roast an entire goat, is pretty realistic in former times / primitive society.
If you want to prove the addiction thing a farse, take two people: me, a guy of average size / build, no greek god but I do work out most days during the week. And a relative of mine who is quite overweight.
Now if said relative who mostly eats sticks and dirt / health food and pays attention to labels and the like has a treat and sits down to a big bowl of some junk food, maybe a order of fries, this relative is 'addicted', especially if there's a show on in the room, maybe they're watching it or maybe it's me.
But if I do the same, and I'm more likely to eat about average: I'll eat some rabbit food, but no more sticks and dirt than is domestically required. Now, image aside (I realize that's hard for some "people"), shouldn't I, or maybe a really skinny friend of mine for that matter, be called 'addicted' if it was just the consumption? After all these chicken-brains would call the overweight relative 'addicted'.
These "addiction police" will become angry if you, the average-sized person, will not join them in their antics while they stare at and babble incoherently about plates of food and overweight people.
I remember once at a workplace when one of these was babbling semicoherently about corpulence in the office kitchen. So, having had enough / wanting to have a bit of fun I asked: "By corpulence, do you mean 'Piggy?' to which she said "Oh, yes!" and my response: "That must make you all Jack and his Tribe."
She tittered in the "I don't get it," sort of way, others laughed, and several in the office referred to her as 'Jack' for the next few days. Naturally, I should have expected her incapable of understanding sucha literary reference.
If you're in need of an explanation of a freference, google "Lord of the Flies," maybe they don't make you all read that in school anymore ... but a great read on lots of things, not the least of which is what the trendies will do if given their head and not properly reined in.
But back to the topic at hand: addiction to food? ... Pooh!!
I'm addicted to eating Chippie. She tastes as sweet as she sounds.
I can't help it, but I'm addicted to all junk, fast and takeaway foods, lol, especially, chocolate, which is also supposed to cause depression once you're hooked on it like I am, lol. Ironicly, they say it's good for your heart as well.
Jen.
I don't know if this counts but I'm always hungry. lol. I guess I'll eat anything accept McDonalds. Yuck.
I do tend to eat out of bordom, and I love to cook as well. Not saying I'm an addict, but I sure know how to enjoy good food. I'm lucky in the fact that I can live quite well off the cheep stuff. I can make a meal of a can of courn or mustard greens. And I ain't gonna turn down a peanut butter cookie, either. The one thing I honestly can't seem to get enough of is good cold milk. and, Yes, robo, Lord of the flies is quite an interesting read. I had to read it in highschool, as well as John Dollar, or maybe it was Johny. Hell, that's been 20 years ago, so...
Yes, but the milk better be cold and not room temperature. I also don't mind cooking...I love to fry ham with a bit of butter and brown sugar. Good stuff.
Actually anything fried is good.
Ywww! Warm milk. Nastyyy! It's got to be cold enough that there are little bitty ice crystals in it. It has to be cold enough to give you a bit of a headache if you really guzzle it. Yum yum!
