Comfort eating

You know when you just eat for the sake of it.
Afterwards you feel like a big fat munter.
I've just eaten 2 bananas, half a tuna pasta salad, a packet of crisps, and 4 chocolate biscuits today. Its only 1:30.
Ick.
:rolleyes:

OH DEAR ME!!
may i just point out that the only thing u ate was bad was the crisps and the biscuits, but everything in moderation. its ok to have 1 bag of crisps and a few biscuits but not like 4 bags of crisps and half a packet of biscuits! dont stress!!
Is that it? I eat that much food in a mouthful.
If you REALLY can't control the comfort eating, then at least make the foods, that your comfort eating on, healthy foods.
You could also try resisting the urge, read a magazine, do a job that needs doing, put off the eating until youve done something else first and hopefully the urge will pass.
If it ain't there, u can't eat it can you?
I dont really eat much chocolate and crisps and stuff, its more like savory comfort food.
I'm learning to control it now I guess, I'm not eating much before I go out of an evening, and by the time I get home, i'm too tired to eat
Nice an healthy, banana for brekkie, soup or a sandwich for lunch, then dinner and more fruit when I get home.
ta da!
