what do you use to fill the void besides food?

I honestly don't think I have any addictions I didn't already have 8 years ago. I still hae voids, but am too busy to worry about them. I guess ( a good thing)

Gina I think that's where I'm at and I'm good with it - just need that I'm not alone reasurance sometimes

love ya girlie

......a sex accict and MUST cheat on my wife? There are far more females having this surgery!!!

Unfortunately, I still eat things I shouldn't, but my grandkids do a pretty good job of filling that void for me.

I eat out of stress and anxiety at work.  I wish I knew how to break myself of that, but I don't.  The simple answer is to remove all "bad" foods from my workplace, but I can't seem to bring myself to do it ... it would be like separating Linus from his blanket.  If anyone has suggestions, do tell!

In all honesty, what I probably need is a therapist.  Anyone know a good "food issues" therapist in Dallas?

Danni, this won't work for everyone - but I find myself addicted to GUM these days.   The Mintier, the better as it prevents anything else from tasting good.   As I sit most of the day at a computer, it's waaaayyyyy to easy to put food in my mouth...   So, I decided that if I couldn't stop the urge (I'm a boredom eater), then I could at least make better choices.   At only 5 calories a piece and sugar free, it's not a bad habit to have.    Plus, I always have fresh breath! 

So, it may or may not work for you - but it's a lifesaver for me.  Other thing I'm really into is hot tea's - they also fill you up and help ge****er on board for the day.

Good luck!

Gum, eh? ... Hmmmm.  I like it.  I would have to spit out the gum in order to stuff my face, and I'll always have something to chew on.  Cheaper than therapy, too.  I am going to try that.

What do I do when I don't eat.....that's lots of extra time now....I play on facebook., what else!
