[QUOTE="There is no Spoon, post: 2125327, member: 468755"] Hi Lucy, I gave up smoking I was on 40 a day I had convinced myself for 30 years I could not give up because I was "addicted to nicotine", nicotine is a highly addictive substance. This is the mind set I refer to. This is not meant to diminish anyone who is struggling with any kind of disorder BED or otherwise but an observation on human nature. People use the phrase [I]"I'm addicted to ....."[/I] like chocolate or anything else you can think of. All the time they don't realy mean it. We have all, each and everyone of us, used an excuse to get out of doing something we think will be hard or we don't want to do are you saying that you disagree? There is no one out there who will use[I] "I'm addicted to carbs" [/I]as an excuse to give up before they start. That's not how will power works. :bag: [/QUOTE]
