Comfort Eating

Chimes

Hi everyone.

I noticed a pattern I've been in for a while now. I've been a big person for as long as I can remember and a couple of years ago I made some good progress and lost nearly 3 stone.

Unfortunately I've put 2 stone back on since then and most of it is due to comfort eating. I've gone back and forth with losing a few pounds and putting it back on, thought I was in a good routine a month ago with healthy eating and counting calories but thats gone again.

Problem is I have depression along with OCD and Aspergers and food has always been a comfort for me, even if I don't feel any better after eating I still do it. I have my own money so find it so easy to go out and buy food and drink to binge on.

Just don't know how to get out of this rut I keep going in.

  • It sounds like the core complexity here is depression. Fix the depression, and other things fall into order. From what I've read, isolation is many times at the heart of this. Now that things are opening back up, is there a support group which meets up you could join? Or perhaps some kind of community engagement around something you enjoy to connect with?
