I just finished the video titled "Overcoming Addiction - The Root Cause of Every Addiction" and it really resonated with me. I have very few memories of a time when I wasn't addicted to food, but I was an adult before I realized a) I am addicted to food; and b) The addiction is a habit that I can affirmatively change.
The problem with food addiction is that there isn't a "right" way to live, because our bodies need food. It's not heroin, booze, porn, or gambling. I can't just stop eating. I'm becoming comfortable with the idea of sitting with emptiness vs. acting on a craving and trying to stuff it down, but I'm not sure how to execute that when I can't feel the line between "I have a craving for food just to be full" and "I didn't eat enough today (or enough of a certain nutrient) and my body actually needs more nourishment." Does anyone have any insight into this?
