Can't stop eating

[bzoo]

Just want to stuff my face despite knowing I am over weight. I haven't been feeling too well run down and have a cold in full flow so to speak. Why am I CRAVING food I don't even know what kind of food. Meh

Certain foods light up a part of the brain that releases dopamine which makes you happy. Some people take drugs, drink alcohol or smoke to cope with stress/boredom/misery...., other people eat.

I know the feeling. Can you do something else as distraction? What are your hobbies?

You could be addicted to sugar.
Try cold turkey (not actual turkey I mean zero sugar) and see how many hours, days you can go.
You will reach a point where you feel fantastic!
It is difficult though. (I did this on an anti-candida diet) did it for a few months then started eating normally again.
Worth a try?

I'm the same bzoo. Trouble is I'm diabetic too. Ever since I was told I may have to go on meds if I don't lose weight! It's Christmas and wintery FFS!
