Food addiction is real. I think people can get addicted to pretty much anything, and food is probably one of the bigger ones.
I have problems with food also, but it comes from a slightly different place. I grew up poor. You ate what was in front of you, because that was it, there was nothing else. The idea of being picky, or not finishing your plate, was unthinkable.
Things are better now, but I still have this compulsion to finish everything on my plate. I am working on it, but it takes a long time to undue years of childhood conditioning...
