Eating addiction isn't a disease which implies you can do nothing about it.  Common misconception.  The fact that it's a disease doesn't mean that you can't do anything about it.  A disease just means that it's something that affects normal body function and isn't caused by injury.  There are lots of diseases that you can do something to prevent getting.  Food poisoning is a disease, but it's very easy to prevent - wash your food, don't eat bad food, trust your nose.  Obesity is a disease that is similarly easy to prevent - don't eat too much (sure there are other ways to mitigate it to varying extents, but that is the most effective and easiest).  Cancer, malaria, and tuberculosis are also diseases, but are harder to prevent or avoid. Falling back on "It's a disease so I can't do anything about it" (which to be fair, is not what you are doing, you're just describing it) is  5a77   a fat excuse.  It's what people go to when they don't like reality.
