Imagine this scenario: Man thinks,” I have got nothing to do.” Man thinks the next moment,” Let’s eat!!!” Into the 21st century and we are faced with the demon of the present era that allows us to spend time relentlessly, only to remind us after a length of time that we are neglecting our bodies and wasting our time. But, the body itself is engaged in a war with time. The body says, “Let’s not waste time. Let’s eat instead.” However, like the inevitable con to every pro, human beings just don’t get to see the limiting line in every activity of theirs. With the intake of fast food over days and months and years, the element of fast food gets incorporated into our DNA, wherein we become machines under the control of junk food. The human comprehension thinks that drugs can be the only addiction, but the human realization kicks in when comprehension develops, but by that time it is already too late.
Change is the only constant, and like every other entity of our lives, all the junk food addicts in this vast world will have to undertake certain steps if they are to overcome this non clichéd addiction. The first step is to admit that you have an addiction. Analyze your food habits, make a chart, and understand the timings and hours of intake. The best remedy that can be offered, for food unlike other addictions leaves it marks on the external aspects of your body, unlike other addictions that do it internally. Look at yourself in the mirror in recent times and look at an image of yours in better times, and you will get a fair idea of the number of calories that go i0nto your body and just stay on and on and on. Don’t worry, you will feel like vomiting out all of that. You could also try a calculation of that ultimate addiction of every human being: money. Calculate the amount spent on fast food, think of all the things that you could do with that amount and…you get the rest!!
Of course, once you have rehabilitated yourself, you will need to anticipate withdrawal symptoms. Keep your system busy and your mind at rest by snacking on healthy and wholesome foods, so as to keep your stomach at bay. Most importantly, temptation is a wily seductress, so keep your distance from all-you-can-eat- buffets and such other elements that excite your taste buds. All done, go out into the world and be able to turn a blind eye on the call of the gustatory sense.
