Yes, You can be addicted to food. I had Gastric Bypass surgery in January and the first 4 weeks was like withdrawl from a drug. You want it, you want to do anything that is associatied with it. You will do anything to get it. You feel depressed that you can't have it and you get emotional just for no reason. Food was always there to fall back on, it was like a best friend that would never let you down. Just like any drug it just becomes addicting when it is there and accessable. Most people eat out of emotion, boredum, etc. But now since January im 65 lbs less and food isn't always on my mind like it was before. So yah food is addicting everything we associate is with food, wether going to a movie and getting popcorn, or hanging out with friends at a resturant to business meetings at resturants. We are always surrounded by food there for making it addicting. If you turn on your TV to a local station, count how many times a food commercial comes on in an hour or 2. You will be amazed of how many don't really render in your mind until you count them. Hope this helped.

Anything which gives you pleasure is addictive, especially after a bad day, you would eat or smoke or drink or have sex or take some drugs to help you relax. etc.

Yes, definitely. I find myself easily addicted to carbs - pasta, bread, rice...anything starchy and I have to make a concerted effort to eat more fruits and veggies.
