Congrats to you!!!Former fat *** checking in,
Not a disease325
~182ish
I agree that it is a disease, it's a mental disease.
Addictions are far from a choice famb..go to an AA meeting or a drug addict and say "why don't you just stop?" And see what happens. The ignorance..
Agreed.If you've never been addicted to anything u have no place to tell people that all they have to do is make a choice to stop
i just dont understand how a person can get so big.
fat people are hilarious.
You both don't know what some people go through in their lives. Everyone deals with deals with stress in their lives on a daily basis, but it's handled differently by each person. Examples of stress could be a flat tire, hole in your favorite pair of shoes, misplacing your car/house keys, death of your pet, death/loss of a family member/close friend, break up/mental strain in a relationship, doing well in school, long hours at work, etc., etc,.. There are those that know how to manage stress the best way. And there are those that don't know the best ways to handle stress and may use different things( such as sex, food, cigarettes, drugs, alcohol, etc.) as a coping mechanism or a tool to help them deal with stress. They feel in their minds that using this coping mechanism (or food) is the only way to ease the tension in their lives, not knowing that they're becoming an addict and even ultimately ruining their mental/physical health. So just like any other addict, these people need help just like everyone else. It all starts in the mind, not just the body.
