Sometimes food and eating become a too big of a part of people’s lives. Many people live to eat, and don’t eat to live. Don’t get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with enjoying dinner after a long day of work; but there is a problem when the only thing you look forward to after work is dinner. By this I mean, that for many people eating and food is the main source of pleasure in their lives, and they don’t look forward to anything else. These “foodies” have made eating into a hobby.
The reason many people are overweight and always are going to be overweight is because they have made eating a too big part of their lives. After a hard day’s work you should look forward to seeing your family, doing some activity, pretty much doing anything other than eating. Eating will not bring you long term happiness in life. If you disagree with this statement, then I guess you just have to deal with being overweight your whole life.
If eating is your favorite thing to do, it will be impossible for you to lose weight. So, if you have subconsciously turned into a “foodoholic”, make some changes in your life so that you can look forward to things other than food. Maybe join an art class or join a basketball league, anything is good. You will feel better with yourself, and you will not be living for food. Get some hobbies, live happier, (make it so your life does not revolve around food!) and lose weight as a result!

I have been thinking about this subject a lot this week. I love how you so succinctly discussed this issue. Eating should not be a hobby. I know it has been for me in the past and I am trying to change that. Thanks for the post.
