I'm embarrassed to say that I am addicted to chocolate.
I suffer with depression and over the years, many years, that I've developed a very unhealthy habit of turning to chocolate or sweets to make myself feel better. I've slowly put on a great deal of weight and am now very overweight and is affecting my health and making my depression worse it's a vicious circle.
I've been having therapy for almost a year to try to overcome this habit. My has T has been patient and come up with numerous ideas to try to break my habit but I have made little progress and am getting really angry with myself.
At my last session my T told me that I'm addicted to chocolate. He said he has worked with drug addicts and I do all the same things.
I don't really know why he told me this ?? To shock me into making more effort or ? to show how exasperated he is with me.
I really need to lose this weight and change my habit.
I'm looking for friends and support on here.
Anybody in a similar position?
