As an ex smoker, I hate the emotional attachment to food argument. "I can't lose weight because I'm emotionally attached to food. Psychologically I'm not able to due to anxiety or depression." Basically the same argument Boogie2988 uses. Well I was a smoker since the young age of only 10. Ever since about 17 I was smoking a pack a day, sometimes more. I had a physical, emotional, and mental addiction to nicotine. It also helped me cope with my once debilitating anxiety(now only mild anxiety.) However 4 months ago in March, at the age of 24, I decided to quit cold turkey. It really wasn't even that hard, so long as you keep yourself busy and go to the gym. It's so infuriating to me that fat people try to argue this.
