[quote=Anonymous]Yes. I was addicted to sugar and flour and come from a long line of addiction in the family (gambling, alcohol, prescription medication, and then food). In my family, it was food. In older generations a combo of things. I joined a 12 step program for food addiction that helps with the "addictive personality" thing and lost 150 pounds and have kept it off for 29+ years. I am still in the program and it gives me the coping mechanisms I need for my addictive personality as well as a food plan that works for me. Although the idea of giving up sugar and flour was terrifying (what is the point of life without bagels???), I found in practice that once I gave it up - I didn't want it anymore. I love the food I eat and I never crave anything else. It's also so freeing to be in a healthy sized body after being obese most of my life and also to have a community of people who understand that food addiction is real. [/quote]
