I bring this up because it does happen! Food can be like a drug to some people like illegel drugs,gambling,smoking,drinking and other addictions. It happens to people who are extremely obese! Food becomes a drug and if they don't get what they want they get angry,sometimes hide food,and won't listen to reasoning! This is one reason some people become extremely obese and those are the people who weigh 500 or more pounds! I also believe some of this people just get to the point where they don't care anymore and just give up! Then there are obese people who have other problems do to trauma in their life to let their life be controlled by food and somtimes means they can control loved ones that way! Love ones learn not to fight and become enablers! This is all sad but true! I'm obese but not extremely obese. I know where this people are coming from! at times food is comfort and a friend to me! It's a crutch! A security blanket! Hopefully I'll learn someday to stop eating for those reasons! Unil I'm ready I will struggle with my weight and eating!

I agree with you, I like to eat, and sometimes it is to a fault, I do not believe I am on my way to five hundred pounds but I could be better, the thing that is lacking in my life is proper exercise, I have a strange schedule and I know also that I need to know how to measure my food.
It seems to be something happening everywhere tho.
I am not sure when you will be ready, all I know is that I do know what to do but for some reason or another I do not do it.
Good luck to both of us
