Why do they refer to comfort eating when it is anything but a comfort afterwards? I try hard to eat well and normally eat only small portions but sometimes the urge to eat more is just too much. I made two helpings of Millionaires Short Bread and ate them both over two days. It felt great at first but when I had eaten, then the guilt trip starts, the loathing. There is little comfort in comfort eating!
Try the apple test. You want to eat so instead of having a biscuit think about if you could eat an apple. If the answer is "yes" you are hungry so eat the apple. If the answer is "no i don't want an apple" then you aren't hungry so don't eat anything. I do find when my anxiety is flaring I tend to comfort eat. Maybe don't do baking. I don't because I just end up eating it all.
just to say that eating apples is a really good idea
a. they are nutritious
b they release an enzyme that make u feel full before u actually are
lol
They always make me feel hungry!
I never knew that!
