Exercise hasn't really been an issue w/ me, Ive done some form of it regularly since I was 19, the eating on the other hand is a differnt story. Ive done a lot of reserch on it and it says food addiction is as bad as heroin addiction although a heroin addict is not surrounded by heroin all the time like food addicts are. when I go to the gas station the grocery store and even at work with people constintly bringing in donuts and cakes its hard to not partake. Like other addictions though I know full well it can be overcome, I've beat a smoking and drinking addiction but food is by far the hardest and I know people who laugh at me for saying this and people don't take it as seriously as they do other w/ other addictions its a constant mind battle but I know through GOD and constantly telling myself if I don't want a healthy snack instead of ice cream I'm really not hungry, I know boredom has a lot to do w/ it also, I get bored easy. Like any other addiction though IT CAN BE OVERCOME.
