Comfort eating

Comfort eating, emotional eating, secret eating, out-of-sync eating finds you with an overwhelming urge to binge eat. And after a sugar high you may fall into a food-induced coma. You might have feelings of guilt and shame about the habit itself and the desperation you sometimes have around wanting to get off the ever=predictable roundabout.

Some defend it, to remain stuck on the hamster-wheel

Habits get started for a reason, and comfort eating is a way of numbing feelings, when discouraged from discussing them as a kid.

Lots of families are uncomfortable about expressing their feelings but this doesn't deal with them. Instead they show up in the form of bad behaviour, compulsions, mental health issues, physical ailments and pain.

Getting free of the overwhelming drive to comfort eat changes how you behave around food and what you eat. That's when the weight will fall away, as a side benefit.
