Addictive Behavior

I have a relative that recently went to jail because he let addictive behavior get the best of him. Over several years his addiction to prescription pain medications turned into a drug, lying, stealing problem.

The same can happen to you with food. Everyone needs food to survive, but what happens when you use food as a drug - as a comfort, as a narcotic for facing reality, as a habit because you don't want to do face reality and do anything productive. Food is a tool that when used unwisely can rule your behavior.

Remember Food is a TOOL that FUELS your body, not a WEAPON that destroys it.
