i hear what you are saying and do not disagree about comfort foods. but i do think we've been taught that. it's not in our evolutionary history to seek emotional comfort via foods. quite the opposite even. i think we learned that from advertising over time. wouldn't you say that when all is said and done, one doesn't actually benefit emotionally from eating comfort foods? eating that way actually makes things worse.
Only if your comfort food is Take Charge then its fine Yes I would agree, I would go on carb binge and I would feel numb like I was stoned. Then there was all the self hate as I looked in the mirror or couldnt fit in a bathroom stall. And its hard like my italian mother doesnt understand when I say the food doesnt matter,its the getting together that matters.
