Four days in is a great start. No car eating is such a critical rule for me personally. Having your car detailed was a slick move.

Definitely similarities to other addictions. There are opposing views on whether compulsive eating is addictive behavior, but my first-hand experience points to addiction.

Wow. Just… wow. Hello, other version of me. nnAs I’m trying to lose the 80 pounds that have to go (again), rule number one is “No eating in the car”. I spent 100 dollars getting the car detailed and totally cleaned so other family members can see if I’ve been eating.nnFour days in. One day at a time.

Sounds like addictive behavior to me. A drinker can’t have “just one drink”. A crack addict can’t have “just one fix”. Similar to your ice cream cone. nnI remember a packet of M&M’s that was a turning point where I gained 60-70 pounds after having achieved my lowest adult weight. It’s easy for the dominoes to start falling. nnI have no idea how to fix it permanently. It seems like 12-step programs are probably the best bet.

John, I don’t think it’s normal behavior but it’s not as extreme or uncommon as I once believed.

Wow, great post Beth. I’m studying feedback interventions on consumer behavior and appreciate your introduction of neurofeedback. It sounds like you’re doing great. Monroeville was just down the road from my drive-thru tour.

Thanks for sharing, John. I’d not heard of that book before, and will try to check it out.
