Food consoles me-

India

I'm not quite sure whether this is true or not, but according to me 'eating consoles me'. I love foods, and if there's any times of boredom, sad situations, or I'm heartbroken or be it-I am so pissed off, I don't hesitate to pick up foods from the fridge. Hey I am not fat!

Like you, food do console me too. If i feel a bit depressed i would buy a chocolate or go to a fast food and eat my favorite Crispy chicken burger plus strawberry sundae. After that, i am fine already.

yeah, I hear ya. I have had more difficulty with this since my son was injured. It seems since I am under so much stress I am looking for any kind of "good feeling' and I find it in fine tasting foods!

I'm sorry to hear... Good feeling = tasting good foods....YES! True, you are right. I know, I understand about how we go about pursuing comfort(in your case 'Go0d feelings') and eventually end up eating delicious food-feeling good or comforted!

To me food is to console me. To comfort me. My best friend. I have a real problem with food and this is the biggest reason I am morbid obese! I've had a weight issues all my life.Aout 14 years ago I became depressed. In one year I put on 80 pounds! Since then 60 pounds more have been put on. Getting older makes it even worse! I know I have a problem! Right now I feel if I give up certain foods I am giving up a friend! It is not a good siuation!

I know I understand your feeling mate, I know. I mean I have seen people with such issues(its not a problem). I don't know if it a sin, but yes to lust over foods can be quite a temptation. I hope you will find your freedom if that is what you are thinking, but I don't ever think giving up foods can be comforting or in my case- consoling....lol

You are lucky that you are not fat! I too eat food for the very reason you do, but I am fat, not very much, but fat anyway! Eating food at times when you are really stressed out or depressed does help take our minds off stressful issues. Doctors will disagree, I am sure. But what the hell! We love to eat so we eat!! :) Happy Eating!

We are born to eat, there's nothing wrong in eating as long as we know how to limit ourselves... But I hope in the near future I will not have any weight issues...lol
