I crave chocolate and oatmeal cookies and sometimes I don't know why I keep doing it....I feel alone but don't want to tell anyone what I do...Is it because My doctor says I'm addicted to food...I go on diets but not very long...I get so upset with myself.....I blame it on staying home and not going anywhere but can't seem to want to go anywhere  because of my Weight....Help

Thank you......Its been 2years ago and habits are hard to break but it has gotten better....I think it because i went cold turkey after smoking cigarettes for 16years But I'm much better just thought someone had the same symptom  like me..

Hi!
It is quite possible that you are suffering from an eating disorder and depression. A positive frame of mind is very important for treatment. Take up yoga for that will help you. Join any good center in your area. Apart from this, you need proper diagnosis and treatment without which success is not possible. The treatment involves various types of behavior therapies, nutritional guidance, medications to control hunger, food satiety, and exercise and yoga. Please consult a good psychologist/psychiatrist who specializes in eating disorders. Take care!
