It me! I wish I could find a way to shut my id the hell up and take control of my body back from it. Feels like it's holding me hostage sometimes. Here I am on Lemmy instead of getting anything done because my subconscious instinct to fuck off is more powerful than my conscious desire to get work done

Comfort eating is one of the hardest addictions to break because unlike drugs, you cannot go cold turkey and stop.

Most of us have never actually been hungry and eat because it is lunchtime or because we are sad and want to distract ourselves.

What worked for me was fasting. It was incredibly hard at first but it did reset my relationship with food. My stomach now decides when and what I eat, not my mind.
