I think food is the greatest (most horrible) addiction known to man.
A person just can't quit eating. So its not like crack or alcohol or cigarretes, you must walk a fine line every single day.
In our culture, it is extremely hard to practice temperance due to the fact that most events incorporate food as part of the fellowship. I am not copping out here, just stating that it is extremely difficult to stay healthy, and practice temperance.[/QUOTE]
I totally agree. I was a huge diet coke fanantic but read a book dealing with poor American food choices and quit for a couple months, but alas I too gave into temptation. I have once again said "no" to diet coke, but it calls your name.
I recently read a statement indicating that drinking diet coke causes people to gain weight. How can this be? You mean you can't eat a Snickers with your diet coke?
I find it hardest to resist when eating out. I love coffee, but it doesn't go with every meal, imo. Maybe I'll turn into an iced tea addict instead.
