See you in another life- are you saying you have addictions to food, or you cannot control the compulsions to eat? Those are 2 separate issues. If you have addictions to food, I can honestly say that fasting definetly helps to break the addiction. I have the same problem with sugar (especially chocolate). Once I start eating it, its hard for me to stop. Then every day I begin craving sugar and I would easily eat 4 or 5 chocolate bars. THen it gets me to eating other unhealthy things, and its just a downward spiral for me. One way I break that cycle and get control of myself is to go to a complete raw fruits and veggies diet (more veggies than fruit tho). The first few days are very difficult-my body actually tries to trick me into eating sugar by making me crave things I dont realize have added sugar. AFter those few days, the cravings actually go away. I know how difficult it is to resist an addiction, but I also keep in mind that my success is completely up to MY decision.
Some people have extreme problems when trying to control their compulsions to eat. SOmetimes they just need to work on willpower and discipline, and in other cases it may be a psychological problem such as obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD). Either way it can be overcome and you can accomplish your goals. Good luck!
