Food Addict

I guess I am a food addict or I wouldn't be overweight. Does anyone else think this is a type of person thing, as I used to smoke and was addicted to that (even harder to give ciggies up than chocolate!)
Do you think if you weren't addicted to food you would be addicted to something else?
I have a friend who is addicted to exercise...

Yes, I know what you mean.

Can't you get completely attached to two or three things and then it won't count as an addiction.

Ooooh that sounds a good idea, I pick chocolate, wine and cakes!

I understand what you mean. There could be some sort of personality trait. I used to smoke too and found it hard to give up so maybe it is possible to have an addictive nature.

Maybe we can become addicted to dieting instead (although only in a healthy way, not over the top way!)
