Well, probably...
Food, unfortunately, is a huge part of our existance. Its used for celebrations, substanance, sadness, etc...
I think thats why losing weight can be so difficult...A smoker can give up cigarettes for good, because the body doesnt need it...Yes, its hard, but they can never smoke again, and live...Same for an alcoholic...
We cant stop eating cold turkey (Hey, another food reference!)...We would die...We have to learn to eat in moderation which SOMETIMES is harder than just quiting it all together...
Thats my most humble oppinion, anyway...
