>someone's alcoholic or a drug addict >"aww you

I don't understand how people still haven't accepted that food addiction is real. Sugar/junk food hijacks the same dopamine pathways in the brain as alcohol and heroin

>>36605276

how do you get high off food , fatass

Being addicted to food is a meme, just like porn addiction. At least drug addicts aren't gross and fat. They have a better personality too.

>>36605322
It alters your mood in a dramatic way.

Ever eaten a high fat/carb meal and simply felt wonderfully lethargic and tired?

>>36605276
>Implying I don't treat alcoholics and drug addicts the same way

>>36605505

yea, that sounds really addictive, fatass

>Be fat and post on /fit/
>We gotchu bro, here's how you start cutting
>Be short and post on /fit/
>kys manlet

>>36605322
The rush of dopamine from a good meal is about a tenth of ripping a bong toke. Both are real addictions but drugs have a much stronger reinforcement.

>>36605318

Alcohol and heroin don't act as dopamine. I bet you're the same faggot that thinks desoxyn is commonly prescribed for ADHD. Don't talk about drugs when you lack even a 3rd grade understanding of pharmacology. You'll only embarrass yourself.

If food addiction were a thing why am I not IVing beef jerky and buffalo wings?

>>36605657
Would you agree it's possible to have an overeating compulsion? That's what I'd call it, but it also places the blame back on the fatties.

>>36605276
Those same people couldn't go a single day w/o caffeine, ibuprofen/acetaminophen, tobacco, alcohol... You name it.

>>36605276
Tbh alcoholics and drug addicts are pieces of shit and I'm saying that as an alcoholic.

>>36605528
Exactly. People who hate fatties usually hate druggies too. They hate people with problems they don't resolve.

>>36605276
Have you never been in public? It's inappropriate to call someone out for being obese, but it's fine to lecture people for smoking cigarettes or weed.

>>36605546
Well, it actually is, especially when driven by a guilt and shame cycle that leads to escapism.

Some people don't have access to drugs, so whatever little relief can be achieved is abused to excess.

>>36605724

I haven't really looked into the issue enough but it's plausible at least. I've long wished that obesity were considered a mental illness. They belong in a hospital, not in the free world with people who aren't fat.

>>36605775
i sort of agree. My drinking was a symptom of some pretty profound personality flaws. Sobering ujp was a painful, enlightening experience.

>>36605877
I'm not opposed to letting them hang around as long as I don't pay their medical bills. If they can afford to be fat, they can be fat, and I won't give a fuck.

The thing that pisses me off is when people make shitty life decisions and expect others to make up for them, without even trying to fix it themselves.

yeah or you try telling your parents you think you have problems and you get nervous and stuff alot and they tell you that used to be called being shy.

>>36605868
Because smoking cigarettes can kill you.
Read a book sometime lmao

>>36605276
I used to be a pretty fat and I actually agree with you. It was harder for me to lose weight than quit smoking or drinking. I support you fat buddy don't give up

This can't be sincere.

>>36605655
>>36605505
you know what else alters your mood in a significant way

sleeping, walking, reading, drinking water, pissing, breathing

>>36606091
Not all of those interact with your brains reward pathway in the same way, but yes, anything can turn into a process addiction, you're right.

>>36606091
You should look up what classifies as a behavioural addiction. You'd be surprised.

>>36605598
haha get fucked manlet

>>36605505
Yea we get that. The same is true of literally anything though. Also fat people don't just say they have a food addiction out of their control,they are proud of it often. No matter who you are, if you are aware you have an addiction then you handle that shit. It's said that the first step is recognizing the problem because that's true, people who won't admit addiction to anything won't ever get better until they admit. But fatties who claim their addicted and therefore that's just their life? Shut the fuck up. That's self imposed. It's a cultural problem, culturally it's okay to be fat

>>36605868
This.

>minding own business, having a smoke
>girls comes up to me
>y'know smoking kills
>youdontsay.jpg

fucking normies

being fat is more accaptable than ever nowadays. druggies and alcoholics are only accpeted if they're achievers like actors or business managers etc.
everyone else gets shat on

>>36605657
Alcohol releases dopamine specifically in the reward area of the brain, not the entire brain. Food does the same thing

>>36606512
Yes that's true. We glorify fatasses and make it socially acceptable to be that way.

It's not okay. Just like anyone with a disorder of the brain, seek help and get it treated instead of staying stuck that way and disagreeing with anyone that criticizes it.

>>36606762
But Anon, denial is a hallmark symptom of addiction of any kind.

>>36605276
hahaha just stop eatin' so much bro

fatties are disgusting lmao you seriously didn't think 'hmm maybe i should go on a DIET' even once on the way to 300lb+ lmao fucking die fatty

>>36607165
childhood obesity should be a crime, this is how most obesity happens
and then the fat make fat children and continue the cycle

>>36606751

In the reward area of the brain you say? How does it release the dopamine into this reward area? How does food do the exact same thing as alcohol in this reward area?

I flirted with bulimia in high school due to self esteem problems. I can kind of see an eating disorder going the other way, where you just binge without the purge. Conceptually, I understand. Sucks to have a fucked up relationship with something you need to do to survive.

>>36607352
The ventral striatum is the main area of the brain associated with reward. When a person eats, drinks alcohol, masturbates, or does anything pleasureable, there is a surge of dopamine in this area. The brain feels great when this happens, so it encourages us to do the activities again. Many people turn to food for emotional issues like anxiety and depression; you couple that with the reward that food produces and you can easily become addicted to eating too much. Almost exactly like one gets hooked on alcohol

Pathetic blob excuse of a human being

>>36605276
As a drug addict, I can say that this is not at all true. All of society hates me.

>an alcoholic isn't a drug addict

Why do alcohol addicts get their own category separate from the other drug-addicted?

>>36607553
because some people to this day still think alcohol is not a drug

I cannot count all the times I've seen people do shit like whilst having a cigarette in their mouths and/or beer in hand proudly say ''I don't do drugs'' unironically

>>36607667
or those coffee addicts who still unironically look down their noses on crack whores, come on people get with it
