I don't know how to stop eating
That is the most ridiculous thing I have heard on the show. Did it ever occur to them that a closed mouth can't eat, be fed, or ask for food.
shareYou're one of the fortunate few who is not cursed with an addiction.
And yes,people quit smoking, drinking, and doing drugs, but they crave it every minute of every day. Food addicts cannot completely abstain from eating. Eating the wrong food triggers bingeing.
Comments such as yours are what my family kept pounding into me. They had no understanding of why I couldn't keep my mouth shut and ridiculed me and bullied me with their "helpful" therapy.
No one can completely abstain from eating. You must eat to live. Food addicts live to eat. Just because you crave food it doesn't mean you have to immediately start stuffing yourself with unhealthy food. When the people on the show are in bed eating you hardly ever see anything green on their plates.

Like she said, you never had an addiction, and it shows.
Thank you!
shareHave you ever eaten something that was unhealthy and a lot of it because it sounded good? I imagine you have. I have, and I've never had a weight problem.
Personally, I don't get that jazzed about food, and I cannot eat much in one sitting anymore. However, I can understand how those with food addiction can get to whatever point they get to just from anyone's normal exprerience with indulging. The difference is they do it on the regular, many probably thinking, "this one more meal won't make or break me," but then it doesn't stop at that one meal. They likely live in that moment (as other addcts do), and it's a vicious cycle until big changes are made, including getting to the root of why they overeat regularly.
I really don't see how OP's 'obvious non-addiction' is a bad thing!
all that starts a liking to becoming an addiction is willpower and not knowing when enough is enough. I have known people like this. it goes from having no willpower and no sense of portion control. also, a lot of these people on this show are bedridden or say they are bedridden. that means that people are goffering for them. that is a problem.
there was one lady who said she makes her son get the food. how? does she fall on him and flatten him if he says no? all he has to do is move out! seriously, most of these enablers are just as attached to this addiction as the 'victims' are! without the victims, these enablers have nothing to do. they have no lives other than to live to feed these people who obviously have nothing better to do than eat?
Oh God. Fortune vomits on my eiderdown once more.

That would be a very noble thing to do - move out and leave your struggling parents on his/her own.

When I die, I want to be buried face down. That way whoever doesn't like me can kiss my ass. share
TOO BAD! they made that decision. They already ruined their life, why do they have to commandeer his life, too!
Oh God. Fortune vomits on my eiderdown once more.
Oh please. Eating isn't an addiction.
shareYou're a very ignorant person.
EMOTICONS ARE BACK! YAY!
And your medical degree or PhD in psychology came from where? Please. Tell us more about your vast research on the subject. Obviously you have facts to back up your statement....
shareIt's the same thing as a person with anxiety attacks saying they don't know how to stop being afraid, telling them 'JUST stop' isn't going to accomplish squat.
shareExactly. But reading some of the comments here, I would guess that there are people who don't believe an anxiety attack is a "real thing" either.
shareNeither is alcohol because it's sold everywhere, yeah right!!! SMH😱
WHO DAT!
You would be surprised at how many ridiculous things become "addictions".
Life is strange, and it's best not to judge others (lest ye be judged...and you will. Be sure of it).
Et lux perpetua luceat eis
Any activity has the potential of becoming an addiction. An addiction is not a thing, it's a repeated behavior that prevents one from carrying out their daily functioning. Everyone has to do more than one thing in the course of a day. The people on this show do one thing....eat.
shareexactly!
I guess all these people flaming you are all for working out at the gym all hours of the day and night!
Oh God. Fortune vomits on my eiderdown once more.
