How to Control Food Addiction

Are you gulping down food every 5 minutes? Do you want to know how to stop this addiction and lose weight? If so, read on.

Steps

1. To start off, you will have to admit to yourself that this is unhealthy and must stop. If you want, you can ask a family member to guard the fridge, so if you get a temptation to eat, they will stop you (unless they have an addiction themselves).
   
2. Next, drink water whenever you have the urge to eat. Believe it or not, one glass of water really helps your appetite go down.
   
3. Talk to anyone with a cured addiction for food, and ask them how they stopped eating. They will probably mention that it is very hard to stop yourself.
   
4. Meditate and see how many days you can keep up without eating extra junk(main meals like breakfast, lunch and dinner don't count).
   
5. Finally, after a few weeks, or a couple of months, hopefully your addiction will be gone!
