Chocolate and cheese addiction...

I know I'm wrong, dead wrong! But I feel I can't get enough. For instance, I'll buy a whole pack of cheese, say to myself I'll eat just a little and most times it's gone before or by the next day. Same with the chocolate. Of course I know it's not good for you, especially your heart (I have diastolic congestive heart failure), but I feel I don't care. I mean, maybe I do care but I feel I MUST have it!
My therapist calls it binges. I keep telling myself that I'm going to stop, but I can't.

Hugs Etta !

Have you told your therapist that you feel like this is more than just a binge ? If you are experiencing this as a compulsion , perhaps they can recommend some techniques for you to use in controlling it .

I think is not a such kind of critical addiction like weed or wine. I think it's good for health.
