Answer 1

It may be a coincidence, but all the foods you mentioned were salty.
You don't say how old you are, but you say you live with your mom.
Maybe this is an addiction, without looking for any ulterior motive. Eating is very comforting and you may be doing it to assuage anxiety about all the things you do. Maybe you need to relax.
To get over your addiction to junk, you have to stop eating it - pure and simple. After one month to six weeks, you will come to be reliant on healthy food. But, don't stop. Just because they are healthy, you can also overindulge on them as well.
Start proportioning your food and tell yourself you are only going to eat every 15 min. then every half hour, then every hour, over time about one month for each stage.
You have to discipline yourself. There is no other way. And the bonus is, you'll be a better person for it.

I think you need to try new things i was like you but I'm half way through a holiday around the world and Ive tried some really odd things with out thinking and found lots i like I'm not that healthy tbh but not over weight. Try to forces your self into trying new things or you could consult a nathropath they tend to have more useful ideas in this area than Doctors.

If you feel hungry a lot its because your starving your body needs nutrition's it isn't getting from fast food so u need to eat a more balanced diet.

Answer 3

Believe me you're not the only one. That's all I do all day, is eat. I'm not overweight that much, but I believe as I age I will become over weight. If you find an answer I would sure love to know it. I swear if I keep going like this, one day I'm gonna be 300 pounds! Good luck cause I think I'm gonna need it too!

Answer 4

My polite interpretation is that you may well be repressing something, some feeling, some completely normal human need and replacing that need with food.

Its not uncommon to do it...women going thru menopause are known to crave physical companionship and replace that need with food, as an example. Males that feel unloved often replace that with alcohol, drugs, driving fast, tempting fate.

We are a complex being and its not unusual to need something and deny that we do, but allow ourselves something else in place of it. Unfortunately, the item we replace our need with is usually unhealthy and leads down a path of destructive tendencies.
