An individual suffering from a food addiction disorder frequently experiences episodes of uncontrolled eating, or binging, during which they may feel frenzied or out of control. They will eat much more quickly than is normal, and continue to eat even past the point of being uncomfortably full. Binging in this way is generally followed by a period of intense guilt feelings...

Why can't healthy foods be addicting like the junk foods are? Is it truly because of addictive preservatives? I notice that if I have a bad day I am way more likely to have many bad days in a row. Normally I don't drink soda, that is unless I have it just once. Which is what happened at a friends house when that was all she had. Today I wanted it...and could just drink a bunch of it right now. I find the same thing happening with chips or chocolate. If I have chocolate today I will want it tomorrow. Someone had recently posted about McDonald's addiction and I agree with that too. If I have it once in the week, I will surely have it again....I will just crave that crap!
Is this junk food truly addicting or is it the behavior of eating bad foods that is addictive?

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
I also think that exercising can be addictive. I have just started to go to the gym and I love it. I feel pretty low when I don't go. The problem is, that its way easier to eat fast/junk food than it is to get in the car and drive to the gym. In my case also to find a sitter for the kids.
plus there is the immediate gratification - the food is handed to you, hot and ready to eat - no effort and cheap.
as for the 'if i have it one day, i will crave it the next', i don't eat junk food - but - i know if i overeat one day it is alot harder the next to 'deny' myself. and a one day binge can become 2 or 3. it is the ALL OR NOTHING trap. we don't do 'moderation' well. if we did - we wouldn't have a food addiction
