re: Are there some categories that do not apply to addiction?

i self diagnosed myself on WebMD

See that is the problem right there. You spend too much time sitting around on your lazy arse trying to make excuses and not enough time burning calories. They say sex burns a lot of calories. You should try a sex addiction in order to burn the calories from your food addiction problem.

Take Michael Phelps for example. The dude downs 10k plus calories per day during training. So food addiction is not accurate. It is really lazy arse syndrome.

He might be somewhat of an outlier

Also was having a convo with a coworker the other day and he told me that a lot of people that "graduate" AA end up becoming sex addicts

Basically, people that are wired for that dopamine loop have to get that rush from something else, the trick is getting addicted to the right thing be it success/money, fitness, caffeine, nicotine, whatever the frick works really.

You are missing the "despite adverse consequences" in your equation.

Addiction is a brain disorder characterized by compulsive engagement in rewarding stimuli, despite adverse consequences.

Okay smart guy. What are the adverse consequences of getting laid? I'll hang up and listen you answer.

You don't lift.

Are you accusing me of not lifting or saying crossfit pukes don't lift?

good luck with your food addiction/workout routine bro

LBT.. always ignore Rebeloke threads except for entertainment value of posters falling into the trap

I think the problem with addiction is when it starts to consume your thoughts and actions on a daily basis, if not throughout the day.

People are addicted to food and mostly carbs (sugars, bread, pasta, ice cream ). Most don't think they have a problem, but should you be stuffing your gut with that much sugar at one sitting? Also quitting sugar can produce reel withdrawal effects like headache, aches, and tiredness. There is even a connection of sugar and opiates.

What is even more sickening is that most parents get their own kids hooked, BIG TIME, onto sugar at a very early age. Pepsi has 69 grams of sugar, Dr Pepper has 64 grams of sugar, both are in 20 oz sizes. A quarter cup of sugar is 55 grams. Then if you look at drinks for toddlers, they have even more sugar (in relationship to their size, weight) in them compared to the adult sized version. Pedisure for kids, has 18g of sugar per 8oz serving and they are for kids 2 and older. Fruit juices have even more sugar, and how many kids just drink water?
