I very much suffer from food addiction. It was one reason that I decided to have a gastric bypass to lose my weight; traditional diets did not work for me because it was too easy to give in to the temptation!
Don't get me wrong - the decision to have the surgery was not an easy one - I spent 5 years making it; and
then had to go through psychological profiling before I could be approved for it. But it was the right decision for me.
I have a blog about my whole experience:
