Start by practicing self-awareness. Self-awareness is perhaps
the best therapy to get rid of any addiction, and it is very addictive
in overcoming food addiction. The first step in this is to be aware of
what foods you eat and why. It is better if you can maintain a journal
and note down the foods that you eat. You can also jot down the weight
gained or lost. This will help you to keep track of what you are eating
and also motivate you to control your craving for food.
Try to get over the emotional hurdle. This is perhaps the
hardest task in overcoming the food addiction. If you are using food to
relieve the stress and other negative emotions then you have to sit down
and face the issue. Once the emotional process is addressed then
overcoming the food addiction becomes easy.
