I was on line at Walmart with my groceries, in a looong line, and began reading the new People mag. There was an article on people who had had huge weight losses who had gone on to exhibit other addictions than food. One became alcoholic, and one shopped her way to bankruptcy. The article talked about transferring addictions from food to gambling, drinking, spending etc. I did not get to finish the article, but this was the first I'd ever heard of this. Has anyone else read anything about this? I don't think I am addicted to food, altho it is definitely a preoccupation.
I hope that what I am doing here is learning to become a healthier person both physically and emotionally as it relates to food.
