Chronic relapser on food addiction

Planning is great if you have the willpower for it. Even if I eat according to a well-planned meal, I still want dessert. That's my downfall. But candy is everywhere in my house and so easy to pick some up. So I put the good stuff in the fridge out of sight and take one piece but eventually the candy box ends up in my lap often with a few cookies and soon everything is gone. I think the problem is that deep down I don't really want to give up candy. maybe it's like cigarettes and alcohol either you stop or you don't.
Take care,
Jake

When you talk about food as addiction your right, You now candy it is not good for you but you really like it, just like any other addition or unhealthy habit.
If someone is struggling with alcohol, you would tell them not to have in house so it is not there when willpower is at weakness.
Are you bringing the candy into they house? If so can you take the first step by not buying it. If you pick candy at grocery store when buying food, shop when your willpower is the greatest.
Hiding it does not help, because you know it is there.
Are you willing to stop buying candy?
