Off topic. Comfort eating

[DivineSpark]

Do you resort to comfort eating when you are feeling anxious, depressed or miserable?

 

[Monique696]

Yes at times but it doesn't help besides make one chubby and depressed over time.

 

[Forever Sleep]

Yes. I love it and hate it. It's kind of messed up that even the things in this world that make you feel slightly better in the short term, make you feel even worse in the long term.

It's the only thing I find comfort in these days. It's a momentary fix that feels like trying to fill a bottomless bucket and I've gained a noticeable weight but can't help it. I don't really care all that much about my size and health at this point as long as I get my temporary fix till I leave.

My comfort eating diet is very unhealthy, I consume lots of sugar. At least I am blessed with fast metabolism so I dont gain any weight from it, but it is still unhealthy. Few weeks ago I had appointment with dentist. I was expecting the worst, but for my surprise. My teeth are fine, no cavities.

Yes and it leads to overeating....and purging

I flit between over eating and under eating. I hardly ate anything in November/December. Lost alot of weight in a short space. Unfortunately it comes off my top more so I actually didn't look healthy just older. I try to eat reasonably healthy but if things are in the house I have been known to binge. Really not healthy .

I struggle with binge eating. Food is my most efficient coping mechanism. But to this day I've been binge free for 1 month and 14 days. I'm having a terrible time, I feel angry and depressed and my suicidal thoughts are becoming strong. I just want to eat fast food non-stop until I can't move. But I won't do it because I want to be skinny. The chance of being skinny someday is one of my reasons to keep living.

I want to get skinner before I ctb so I feel this

 

[ForeverLonely82]

yes. it's one of the reasons I am morbidly obese (over 400) My nerves are fried or depressed to all hell and I'll eat a whole large pizza and bread sticks or get chinese and down large shrimp lo mein, large beef and broccoli, 3 eggs rolls and a small egg drop/wonton soup. the dopamine is nice as I tried to get it in other ways. I used to exercise but all it did is make me irrationally angry and even more hungry! my diet is very poor. I don't like sweet stuff though except for the occasional mexican coke (better than the HFCS version by far). a part of me is hoping to pass by 50 and at this weight at 42. who knows. I may die by then.

 

[notgonnamakeit]

Absolutely. Honestly, it's been a lot more of a problem for me more recently, because i lost a good bit of weight and finally got skinny when quitting my chronic weed addiction (hitting a delta-8 disposable 1-2 times every hour, sometimes more than that). Now the withdrawal symptom of no appetite has finally worn off, and I'm back to being a fatass again. Sometimes I just wish I had the genetics to have a fast metabolism so I could eat whatever I want and be skinny, but I suppose I would still be unhealthy in that case.

the occasional mexican coke (better than the HFCS version by far)

Based. Mexican coke is far superior to regular coke.

Yes, I depend on the sensation I get from eating/drinking certain things to get through the day. For example, sparkling drinks. I need to make sure I have sparkling drinks in my fridge at all times because I need the bubbly feeling to not feel like I'm being tortured every second of my life. I also keep a range from sweet to salty foods so that I can eat whatever I need to feel a certain sensation. Sadly it's the only thing that can get me through the day.
