Comfort Eating?

[Keesha]

Anyone else finding extra comfort in eating?
Its like its become my latest hobby or something. I’ve even noticed my husband is constantly eating.

So much for losing weight.
Having said that, it’s certainly not a serious complaint. I’m thankful to have plenty of food to eat.

I am always comfortable when I eat. Can’t say anymore, got to go make popcorn.

I can eat and get full, hunger gone but still don't feel satisfied. I think the virus chaos is messing with my mind.

Yup, I like the basic food groups: chocolate, grease, and caffeine

Not sure now, supper tonight is going to be reheated beef stew, something I love and I cook it.
As a reward tonight I will have a couple of slices of fresh home made bread. My reward for being out in the
snow splitting fire wood today.
After reading this, hell yes I am into comfort food.

I have a nice soft brush and an air can for the key board.

And there’s me over sharing as usual.

Time to find something else to do ..

Interesting...yes I do find comfort when eating. But on the flip side, I find my appetite sucks. I make myself a simple plate of food, and find I cannot eat more than a few bites before I feel full. Do not know if it is the stress of the current situation or what.

Guilty.......Comfort eating. My biggest downfall is chocolate. I will admit, i have chocolate everyday. I do compromise a little......my most loved everyday is.. Banana Double Chocolate Bran muffins..have 2 of these a day.....they are somewhat healthy because they include bananas, whole wheat flour and bran. I have no willpower with chips, popcorn - Werthers caramel corn, they are to die for -. As my version of compromise, try to keep whole wheat crackers, cheese, oikos strawberry yogurt, something high protein, but i can certainly over indulge on these...busted. When i came home today with Easter treats for grandkids, of course i came home with chocolate for me. Where's the chocolate security guard when you need them. .

Oh, yes...….

Extra eating has always been my go-to comfort for everything, instead of smoking, which Ive never done or downing the alcohol which I dont lean towards.....a sip of Baileys here and there to calm my gut issues tho.....
I've been doing good rationing my portions and snacking less, to make the food last in case it becomes hard to receive what I order online/./.....happened to me the other day.....only got about a fourth of what I was expecting, ugh....and gotta have my sweet treats no matter what or I get a little bitchy

 

[C'est Moi]

Yep; food is comforting. Plus there's a lot of boredom lately, so time to check the fridge.

 

[toffee]

The outdoor birds are eating more too. I buy fruit, it starts going bad, so I switch over to the chocolate which has not gone bad.

My daughter offered to buy me groceries yesterday and asked what I needed. The list started "chocolate, chocolate, and more chocolate." I had Oreo's and milk for lunch yesterday!

 

[Liberty]

Saw all the animal shelters are completely out of adoptable pets...so folks must be getting some "pet therapy" besides food therapy these days.
That's a nice silver lining in the big virus cloud, huh.

 

[Ruth n Jersey]

Oh yes, I'm already half way through my grand kids Easter baskets. The ears on the chocolate bunnies are especially good. Some are hollow now.
Years ago they were always solid.
Since I collect things way before the holiday I have goodies that I was going to put out for our Easter gathering.

Nuts, special dark chocolate and the list goes on. Since the family won't be gathering for sometime it is my duty to eat all this stuff. My mom always said," waste not want not." I'd never go against what my mom told me to do.

 

[Devi]

LOL! But of course, chocolate should never go to waste. But it may go to ... waist!

 

[MickaC]

The biggest crime ever committed would be " Letting Chocolate Go To waist " The Chocolate Police will find any of those guilty of this. .

Smart & thoughtful.

I love to cook, and really love to eat.

Dinners are often full meat/starch/veggie/salad affairs. Only once or twice a year will I have chips & dips or something like that. My struggle now is that I've retained the caloric intake when reducing the caloric output. I was active after retiring with a non-profit doing home repairs for folks, but that went away.

Years ago I went meatless to control my recently-diagnosed high cholesterol. The toughest part about it was learning to feel satiated without being bloated (we're so used to calorie-dense foods.) That took a while to adapt to. Then I adapted back...
