I'm fat and i need to lose weight but im addicted to food. what do you recommend?

A calming routine: Are you using food to try to calm yourself down? Practically speaking it can be helpful to set up a routine that involves healthy food and activities. Be encouraged that you are asking the right questions. If you can figure out what's going on underneath the addiction, you should feel some relief. You might benefit from overeaters anonymous. Best wishes.

1st WHY. 2nd HOW.: The why: you're saying you "need to" lose weight vs that you "want to" lose weight. I wonder what would make you feel you want to? Without positive motivation it's tough to change habits. The how: suggest charles duhigg's book "the power of habit (http://bit.Ly/wymrbk). Also, consider learning about the concept of "mindful eating." for example, see this nytimes article: http://nyti.Ms/wigtz1.
