I called a Food Addiction Impatient Treatment Center and see what their prices where and if you dont have insurance its a thousand dollars a day. I thought I cant afford that and I know my insurance wont pay for it but I thought it was worth checking into cause I do believe I have a food addiction. I think about it all the time. I wake up thinking about it and I go to sleep thinking about it.
I do too @ food addiction, this is off topic but I used to want to go to a weight loss camp like Camp Shane but they are so freaking expensive I might as well have wl surgery if I'd pay that.
I'm in a Overeaters Anonymous group on FB which is a good and supportive community. I actually think most people here understand, maybe this addiction can be cured or maybe not but we do know for a fact it can be controlled. Jean Nidetch the founder of Weight Watchers who turns 92 this year (I'm mad about this woman) she said even though she maintained her weight loss her love of food didn't go away. It just became a matter of choice what did she want more, she was sitting on a multimillion dollar empire, would she let her love of cookies ruin that for her and those she was helping, no. Sometimes we will lose the battle but in the end we will win the war because no vice is more powerful than the human spirit.
Actually, it depends on your insurance. I know that mine for instance,won't cover the payment of gym memberships, however, they will pay for things like weight watcher's meeting or other counseling that I may need, and physical therapy as deemed to be necessary by a physician. It never hurts to call up your insuarance company and ask. The worst that they can say is, "No."
Thank you so much @ Tootsieroll81! <3 I wanted to add, about the power of choice recently I was thinking aloud to myself which do I want more a dessert food (I won't mention which one because it can be triggering I know) or to finally weigh 239 in my adult life, using my hands as a scale (like the scales of justice) the 239 won, and it was the next day if I'm not much mistaken that I finally broke into the 230's for the first time in my adult life (I think that weigh-in was 239.8). You are so much more powerful than you know, tap into it. This isn't to say that I have all the answers, or I'll never succumb to temptation again because I have no doubt I will, but for that day, I chose to lose weight and it worked, and it will continue to.

Ubee ~ Nope I havent ever considered seeing a behavioral therapist. I'll check and see if my city has one and if they do I'll call my insurance and see if they will pay for it. Thanks for the idea.
