Struggles and Food Addiction

You might laugh.  You might even call me crazy.  But I am a binge eater and I am addicted to food.  I am addicted to the process of eating, the emotional attachment, the way it even makes me feel.  Food and I, We have a love hate relationship.  Last night I went to run an errand and no one was with me.  I wasn't even hungry but I found myself in the fast food drive thru throwing down two burritos like it was no bodies business.  I WASN'T EVEN HUNGRY!!!!  I wanted it because I was there, it was there and it simply is not something I have allowed myself in months. 
Here is the thing, I know when it started.  About a week ago I allowed myself to have a grown up weekend with my husband.  We had adult drinks, just a couple each nothing that made us shit faced or anything.  We relaxed, we enjoyed and then I fell hard.  I then allowed myself some candy with a movie, some crust with a pizza, a sugary coffee and the list goes on and since then I haven't been able to crawl out of the whole.  It just keeps getting worse and my old habits are haunting me. 
A lot of people would look at this and think "just don't do it, don't eat it"  but it isn't that easy.  BELIEVE ME I wish I could.  I wish it was just a matter of will power and personal strength but it is something else. Hell people, I quit smoking cold turkey and it was easier than this!! 
The struggle is not only real it is terrifying.
