New Kid on Block
 

Hi all

I am at my wit's end re losing weight. I am told that I am addicted to eating, although I don't necessarily believe that assessment. Bottom line is that I DO eat alot and now weigh a very unhealthy 205+. I am obese, to put it bluntly. For already identified health problems I have to lose weight. It is hard because it is not just a matter of showing restraint. Inasmuch as I ask my husband to stop bringing certain foods into the house, he does it.

Hi gordita205! Welcome to 3FC. Best of luck to you in your weight loss goals and getting your health back on the right track! :cheer2:

:welcome: Glad you are here.

I don't believe in being addicted to eating, either... BUT I DO firmly believe there are addictive substances in the vast majority of processed foods in the grocery stores! Since I have changed to mostly fruits and veggies... very few processed foods and then only with (as Michael Pollan says) five or fewer ingredients, it is unreal how my cravings have diminished!

I wish you all the best. There is a lot of support here!

Welcome and Good luck on your journey!
