Weight management
Just like cigarettes or alcohol or other obviously addictive substances food can easily be an addiction. I found once I manage to cut out certain foods for a while I no longer crave them. Limiting food intake is more important than exercise in weight loss. Since becoming very sedentary, remaining at 124 lbs at 5'6" until surgery even taking in muscle loss has been a challenge but not impossible. I just don't go shopping hungry and don't buy junk food or high carb foods. All in moderation and lots of salad.
