Addicted to Fast Food

I’m a nurse. Youngish. Married. Two kids. Work full time. In school getting my masters degree full time. I still smoke sometimes. When I quit I gained 50 pounds and hated myself for it. So I unhealthily smoke to replace hunger cravings. Sometimes. Except lately I feel completely addicted to fast food. Whether it be McDonald breakfast or some type of pizza or Chinese or burger or turkey sandwich at Arby’s. Something. I’ll eat a meal and feel myself not fully truly satisfied. And distinctively crave a horrible food like Americanized Chinese food. Like pay day could be Wednesday and it’s Monday and I’d spend my last 5 dollars on fast food for myself. Go home cook for everyone else and not say anything. It’s like a fix. I’ve been feeling half “crazy eyed” on edge during my shift because I haven’t had fast food today of any kind and I’m dying for some Chinese.

And yes I always feel guilty after I eat the crap.
