Might sound funny but in my experience not all food is addictive - I'm not addicted to raw broccoli but if I eat refined sugar and white flour then that's going to trigger my food addiction. When I keep the addictive food substances out of my diet then I don't have a tiger to deal with. Now are there people who are addicted to raw broccoli and plain, broiled, nothing added chicken breasts? Could be, but I would have to see what would happen when they completely eliminated the addictive trigger ingredients from their diet.... ;) Hi Peggy,

I had let myself go. I am 6ft and now 126 lbs a little underweight but feel so much better. For me it was taking control of my eating. I had to be concious of everything I put in my mouth and know the calories. It has truly changed my way of thinking about food. I do slip up from time to time but the next day it is back on track. So from personal experience of someone who was overweight and is now underweight anyone can do it they just have to want to do it. Is it easy? No. Nothing worth having is.
