Why does one use food as a comfort and how can this chain be broken?

Asked by toolaura4ya (246 points) | asked June 5th, 2008 | 6 responses

I’m having such a hard time. I started having anxiety and mild depression and I’ve gained 20 pounds since last summer. I notice myself eating horrible foods whenever I want and I always feel sick after I’ve eaten. How is using food as a vice comforting me when post-consumation I feel bloated and sad about my weight.
