Right. Cards on the table time.
I am a food addict. More specifically, I'm a carb addict.
I've been having weekly spike days since 20th November in an attempt to boost my metabolism and replenish glycogen stores, since I'd been working fairly hard at the gym.
In the four months prior to this, I'd lost a total of 19lbs - approx 5lbs per month.
Since starting the spike days, I've lost NOTHING. I went up 8lbs in the space of 10 days over Xmas and new year, and I still haven't lost it all.
The shameful thing is that it's taken me 4 months to face the fact that the spike days are killing me, BECAUSE I LIKE THEM. I spend my entire week thinking about and planning what I'm going to eat on my spike day. And not in the sense of "Oh, let's go out to a restaurant" - in the sense of "how much can I pack into this day?"
Back in July when I decided to try eating 2000cals/day to determine if that was causing me to stall, I stuck it out for 2 weeks before realising it wasn't working and stopping. It's taken me four goddamn months to face the facts that this isn't working. Because I'm an addict. I can't have "just one day". I can't even have "just one". As soon as I stop eating carbs, I want more. I feel over-whelming panic almost as soon as I stop eating whatever it is.
I need to really once and for all realise that I have to treat my carb addiction just as an alcoholic does their drink addiction. There's no such thing as moderation for me. I have to go cold turkey.

your are not there alone believe me!!! but with alcoholics they do not have to drink to survive it is so much harder with food you have to eat to survive but nothing that is good,aka carbs. i tried thinking the way you did through thanksgiving and christmas and even the new yea and just started gaining at a crazy ratei don't even have but a week of clean eating under my belt yet but i am getting there. hang in there we have not failed till we quit! and just look at it as a lesson learned.

I too am a carb addict, as long as I stay away from the junk carbs I'm fine, don't even go down the chip or cookie aisle! The smell does me in. If I taste one, I eat the whole bag! I had to go cold turkey just to squash the cravings.My family is mostly diabetic and they crave carbs all the time, can't get them to see they're killing themselves,so i stay away from them, my mom doesn't see what she did to all five of us kids, three out of five are diabetic, I'm watching what I do now to stay as far from it as possible.With a lot of work I will be one of the lucky ones.
