“Why do we only crave junk food?” - Mad Life Mini

Why are our cravings always for foods that are bad for us? Why don’t we ever crave healthy stuff?

How do you keep food from becoming the focus of your everyday life?

    I only just realized a few years ago that I am an emotional eater. Bored, sad, angry, nervous... I turn to food. My weight is okay now, but my body fat percentage isn't.

    If you're addicted to a drug, you can give up the drug. But if you have a problem with food, you still have to have food.

    Quoting MsBlueBelle:

    Well, I had help. Some scam group calling themselves the Wounded Warrior Foundadtion said they would make my kitchen handicap accessible, so they ripped out the counters, sink, plumbing, electrics, and when they found out I was NOT a post 9/11 disabled veteran, but still a disabaled veteran, they left! So, since I cannot cook, store of fix food, I have to buy food every day, which is difficult to do, I have to push myself in my wheelhair to get kibble for me and my service dog. So, the next time you look into your fridge, stuff somthing into a microwave, cook something on your stove, wash a dish, or plug in the coffee maker, think of me. I have none of those things.

    Omg! Assholes!!!!! I'm so mad! A vet is a vet, 9/ or not:(

    im so sorry

    I admit, I haven't quite mastered this yet. I'm a fairly healthy eater, but I do have my vices.
