I'm definitely a comfort eater. Bad thing is when I'm down about something, I'm down about everything. So, I eat and eat...then I look in the mirror and I realize that I'm a fat pig...so what do I do? I eat some more. Sometimes I hate how my brain works!
Tybalt,
Your solutions are very good ones and health giving as well....come on Sam ....get away from the computer and take that beautiful dog of yours for a long walk......do you both good.
I have never been a comfort eater, going shopping and buying something nice works for me.
Unfortunately, my co-workers are all comfort eaters, and since we take our breaks together, I HAVE to eat comfort foods like doughnuts, cake and icecream. Eating sugary food (all the time) makes me feel strange and kind of dizzy, for some reason, but I'm not a Diabetic.
