I believe this is a topic that is so important. For some, obesity is not just something that you live with, its an everyday fight, an everyday cross to bear! Just as there are addictions out there to other substances, so, food can also become an addiction, that the 'user' uses to fulfill often hidden emotional hungers.
The problem with food addiction is that it so obvious. It can be easy to hide a drug addiction or even a porn addiction but when you are fat, everyone can see.
We truly do battle with our flesh daily, and the fight to keep our flesh in submission, for some is a thorn in the flesh that few understand.
