I have always had a problem with food, my entire life... it comforted me, it loved me when no one else would, it helped me through a lot of bad times and in my life I've grown to love it more than I knew...
In 2002 I had gastric bypass surgery to help myself limit how much of my "love" I could consume and to lose the fat that my love had brought to my body...
The surgeon fixed my stomach but she couldn't fix my head... I still love food... I'm addicted to it... I don't eat it like I used to and I'm keeping my weight off after 2 years but I find it still consumes me. I still "want" it, I still "long" for it.
My question is this, is being addicted to food an eating disorder? Does anyone else have this problem?
