Signs You're Becoming a Foodaholic

Here's the proof I am a foodaholic, like I really had any doubts.
Again, eHow gives you "Signs You're Becoming an Alcoholic". For the sake of our experiment, I'll insert food anytime alcohol is used.
Eating alone or secretly - check
Hiding food - check
Missing work - does it count if you told your kids they could play another 30 minutes of x-box so you can finish the bowl of ice cream you're hiding with in your room? - check
Eating ritually - hmmmm....I've just eaten dinner, I'm full and yet I know that every night we have popcorn. I'm not really hungry but I'm going to eat it anyway. - Check
Increasing food tolerance - I can usually only eat three rolls of sushi, but I'm looking forward to the day that I can eat four nevermind how uncomfortable I feel - check
Food Withdrawal - check, check, and check

I didn't need eHow to tell me this. I already knew I had a problem. Even now, I'm justifying myself mentally. "I've cut back on my eating" "I've started exercising more" I've starting eating more fruits and veggies" "I'm not as bad as others" "In most countries I'm considered healthy". I could go on and on, but those of you who are out there probably already know where I'm going with this. More excuses to get me off the hook. And yet, I know that's all they really are...EXCUSES. It's bad when you look at old pictures and the first thing you remember is how fat you felt or how skinny you felt that day.
I judge myself by how I look. It must have something to do with how I judge others based on their looks. Ouch....that's going to sting for a while. I'll come back when I've allowed that one to sit a little longer.
