[QUOTE="lucylocket61, post: 2124690, member: 41885"] For some of us that is precisely what happens when we eat carbs, or certain carbs, or certain amounts of carbs. Its how binge eating occurs. Like all addictions, it can be addressed, but knowledge of what we are dealing with is important in addressing it.The relief of knowing its not our fault we have these binge cravings, and we are not weak or stupid or useless, we have an addiction. It can be the first step in taking back control and is important in formulating a workable plan to deal with it. I have talk to several women about carb addiction and the response has never yet been to claim it as a reason for not addressing the issue. Eating disorders are real, as you know, and carb addiction is part of that disorder for some, a trigger which can be recognised and avoided. [/QUOTE]
