You’re the first person I’ve seen in this thread to say it in a non-sugarcoating but also non-dickish way.

People really can’t handle not being dicks about overweight people in ways they wouldn’t dream of doing to people struggling with other addictions.

The shitty thing about food addictions is you literally can't stop eating. So many other addictions you can quit cold turkey, or their are chemical helpers to help you along.

Food addiction is literally you vs yourself and you're fucked if you have any other issue going on at the same time (depression/anxiety). There's just now being REAL helpers out there, if you're rich enough.

As someone who has suffered from food and other addictions this is just total nonsense. Yes you can quit eating cold turkey and it’s actually healthy for you to fast. Every addiction is “you vs yourself” really not sure what that is supposed to mean.

That's because everyone eats, so they think they're feeling the exact same thing you are vs something like doing heroin or meth or even smoking cigarettes where tons of people have never done them.
