BIG FAT PEOPLE!

  • Popular Post

Did I get your attention??? :P

Ok, curiosity... when I answer posts here, I am always coming from a perspective of a "food addict"

But many times I have people write back...

"But I don't have an addiction to food"

Which I always think to myself YEAH RIGHT!

Don't beat me up I'm being honest!!

What can I say I'm pessimistic, I also laugh when people say they don't eat TO MUCH so they don't understand how the are fat.. I AM FAT BECAUSE I EAT LIKE A PIG (alone mostly)

Today I thought about, "what if I'm wrong?"

I mean...I am me and I am addicted, how do I know how the next person is???

I'm curious as an addicted fat person how is it for those of you who are not addicted?

Oh and on a side note if I am wrong, then I'm also jealous because I would give anything not to have this problem (addiction)

      If they aren't addicted why do they allow it to happen? If you didnt eat too much or the wrong things and youre aware you are getting fat.. Why not just stop? If you lost all your weight why turn back

    I didn't think I was a food addict but now I think I was because I catch myself looking in the frig even know iam not hungry .. I have some demons from my past and I think I substituted the drugs with food.

    I went to OA once in 2008 and it was very dogmatic in structure. Not for me. There was hardly any support and it felt very uncomfortable. It was mostly reading from a script and reading from the OA bible. Most ineffective hour I have ever spent. Maybe AA is better then my experience with OA or maybe my experience was isolated. WW was far better at supporting overeating issues in their support meetings in my opinion.
