[QUOTE="T1Dinsadd, post: 2152771, member: 515701"] Hello, I know some of you will think it's not an addiction but I have physical symptoms when it comes to eating foods... So, I'm 275lbs and 5ft11in... my A1C (in USA) is 6.2 which is apparently pretty good. I'm obese, I believe. Anyways, my blood sugar is regulated well. But... I always want to eat badly. Carb heavy meals mostly like Chinese food. If I don't, and I often force myself not to, I start to get the shakes, I sweat and I can hardly focus on anything else... besides all that my stomach literally hurts, pains so unbelievable I get nauseous. I don't know what to do - I need to lose weight to control my blood sugars even better because although my A1C is OK my blood sugar still gets REALLY high... and I take A LOT of insulin all the time. I can't get over this addiction I've tried now nearly every month, I try so hard not to eat anything I'm not supposed to or I just drink water to help myself get filled up but it doesn't seem to work I'm hungry the minute I stop drinking water again. Also, the only thing that has helped me (and you all may laugh) is smoking marijuana... somehow that takes away my addiction and gives me the power to stop eating bad. The only problem is, I can't smoke it because then I can't work, and not because they test me for it but simply because I'm a HUGE lightweight and get incredibly "high" I can't do anything really. Yes, I've tried CBD and although it is somewhat helpful (the kind you smoke) it, like water, tends to leave me quickly and I just get hungry again. Please any suggestions would help thank you.
