I have quit smoking, quit gambling ,why can't I quit overeating ?

Well smoking and gambling can be avoided. You can choose to stay away from those who smoke, sit in the non-smoking sections at restaurants, etc. You can also stay out of casinos.

However, eating is something different. You can't avoid food, you have to eat! It's just hard to slow down once you've started, as well as choosing fruit over cake. It's also difficult to choose good foods since so many are chemically enhanced in labs and whatnot today. Knowing what's in your food helps a lot.

I also have a problem with overeating. I'm currently "suffering" through a fruit, veggie, and meat only diet. It is very difficult to do, but you just have to think of the bigger picture, the light at the end of the tunnel. Just imagine how you want to look, and how eating better can help you achieve that look as well as become healthier and more comfortable.

Because you have to eat to live. Therefore it's necessary to deal with food everyday unlike gambling or smoking which you can avoid completely.

i did the same. it's almost like i replaced my addiction with cigarettes with food. i gained about ten pounds. after a while like that, i changed my eating habit.

Because you quit smoking.

Often overeating is due to emotinal eating. Basically eating makes us feel better. So it is important to identify when you out of comfort of hunger. For more info check out emotional eating article at http://www.alfitness.com.au
