Eating is controlling my life

I always eat, and think about eating. Or what I ate or am going to eat more.. while I am eating. It starts the moment I wake up. I get happy in the morning thinking about eating snacks and stuff. This ain’t normal is it? Tried to lose weight countless times but I always fail after a while because then I literally dream about being in the supermarket buying snacks. I don’t know how to break this circle, my world feels empty without tasty unhealthy food. Its been like this since my childhood

@lunoxx This can be quite challenging to manage. Sometimes people tend to visualize their needs so they transfigure them into domething else. In your case it is food. After a while this can be more of a physical issue. The stomach expands and the body generally wants to accept bigger amounts of food. The first step is to find out and accept what made you project your needs in food. The second step is to behaviorally train your body to accept smaller amounts of food. The process is challenging. But what I can tell you for sure is that it's not impossible. Because I am the proof of that. I have been in your shoes and I managed to go back to normal. You'll make it! Have faith in yourself and don't be strict with diets and exercise but be consistent. The more results you see the easier it will be for you to feel motivated and continue. I have faith in you! Allow me to remind you that you can always connect with a listener or therapist for further support. Thank you for sharing your concerns with us!
