    Do I need an intervention?

    Every Friday night I can't wait to see the latest episode of intervention. While I watch I feel so sorry for those poor addicts who are such a mess. I wonder do they see themselfs? Why didn't the crack head stop when her teeth fell out? Don't they think the track marks and scabs are ugly? Funny thing while watching last friday for some reason this episode really made me ask my self how am I different? Although I am 30 and I have never had a sip of alchol or a puff of any pipe or even a cigarette, I don't even take tylenol. I think I would watch to feel better than until I realized that poor lady's alcholism is alot like my food addiction. I don't stop when I am full. I don't see my reflection or the risk of diabetes as something like tracks in my arm or missing teeth or a dui but they are the same. I am an addict ruining my life with a substance. I think about food alot and when I am not eating I am thinking about when and what I will eat next.

    Hi,

    I totally love Intervention too. I have noticed episodes on being being anorexic and bulumic, but never a person being TOO FAT. I wonder why there are never any on those? I mean, I was watching it one night crying because I was wishing someone would do an intervention for me.

          I watch Intervention too.

          I have a friend, a very special friend, who is a coke addict, plus he smokes and drinks and does weed. He is also an extreme athlete. I have done everything I could do break his addiction, everything I could think of. I went with him to the detox center, I stood up to his dealers, guns and all etc. What worked, is working, is that he is travelling and working very hard, 14 hours a day. He is very, drop dead tired every day, instructing his favourite sport every day. It seems to be working.

          When I watch Intervention I watch my own life with him. Each episode actually hurts me but I keep watching as I learn things all the time. I know I can't do it for him, but I am ready to do whatever it takes and that means I never see him because he is always travelling. I am ready to do that too. We are going to brake the back of his addiction one way or another.

            That show makes me cry all the time. Its so sad to see families torn apart by drugs especially when the addict doesn't care. But yes, I do agree with food addictions... It was mainly a sugar addiction for me, but I'm happy to say thats gone now!

              Have ya'll ever watched "Big Medicine"? It's about really morbidly obese people and the struggles they have just trying to live. I watched it a week or so ago and was thinking how can you get that big? Then I thought, how did I let myself get this big?

              How do we set our STOP sign for --that's too heavy? Why did I let mine get set that high? I'm not that different from an addict or the 750 pound person. I just did finally reach a point where "that's enough". I'm getting rid of my big clothes, I'm never going back there again. My STOP sign will be set for 5 pounds over my goal. I hope and pray that I keep it set there for the rest of my life.
