I can only speak for myself and speak for today...
Sometimes I find myself looking for an inspiration or motivation that will trigger me to be better. But I sit here day after day in the fucking reality of the fact that I am responsible for creating/manifesting my own motivation and being my own inspiration. I need to stop thinking weightloss is an advertisement end result of after the fact and forgetting all the hard work. I need to stop thinking that there will ever be an easy way out and stop questioning myself. Theres so much I've denied myself, talked myself out of, excusing myself from, that when I reach my grave I'll be 37 and thinking, "well this was it." A whole pizza, lack of discipline/control, no respect for my diet or health, no love deep within me. And as clearly as this plays out now I can not predict the future. I can only say that at 27, I'm 350lbs 5'5 have hbp, sleep apnea, diabetes, anxiety, depression, bpd..and I'm not quitting on myself.

Lately I've been experiencing a lot of sadness when I feel hungry. I know how quickly everything can come crashing down, I just feel hopeless.

Food Addictions
I think the reason that its so easy for people to shame those with a food addiction is because it’s the only addiction, at least that I can think of, that can’t be romanticized. You can’t create anything sexy from needing processed sugars and fats.
Not only that, but beating a food addiction is so hard. You can’t quit food like you can quit smoking. You need food. But like smoking, food can be used as a coping mechanism. Many obese people became that way after experiencing overwhelming trauma. And it’s easy to tell yourself that you need that cookie as energy to fuel yourself through the day. That it’s just one small thing. It’s so easy to blur the line between what is food you need and what is food you want.
On top of that, people who struggle with a food addiction struggle more because they don’t have a support system. Nobody takes food addictions seriously. Most people don’t believe they even exist. To most, an obese person is someone to mock. There’s scientific proof that processed foods are habit forming. Children who are given processed foods are way more likely to have a poor diet or a food addiction into their adult life. People need to stop claiming that there aren’t risks to food addictions. The reality is that obesity kills people all the time. Its so easy to gain weight and so hard to lose it. People with any addiction need support.
