Ok, I just have to confess... just come right out and say it... I am addicted to food, completely addicted. Here's the deal: I have to eat something salty, and then sweet, and then salty, and then sweet. The textures of what I want vary; but the texture of that particular craving is very important - like I must have a soft pretzel, or I must have cheese and peanut butter crackers. Then I must have a white chocolate kit-kat - or whatever. Or I must have McDonalds big mac and fries, then a box of oreos with milk. What I'm trying to say is that I have very specific and very strong cravings. Someone addicted to heroine or crack could not possibly be more consumed by their cravings than I am. It's all I think about. I can't diet because of this... I say that I am trying and that the weight just won't come off... but the truth is, I just can't stop eating. Period. I starved myself to fit my wedding dress... that was a month and a half ago... I've already gained 20 pounds again.

I've tried overeaters annonymous. It's just not for me. I did not feel comfortable sharing because most of the people were thin.

I just want to talk to people who can relate, and see if anyone can suggest something other than oea. Thanks!
