Knowing that what you are doing is wrong but you keep doing anyway - it is how we punish ourselves for those things that make us sad, upset, angry, happy, nervous, and any other emotion under the sun.It is alot of baggage to let go of and as purplekat said above i have been comfort eating since i was young.  What i found is helping me is drinking alot of water but mainly when I eat, i have a bottle of water and i have a sip of water, then 2 mouthful of foods, then a sip of water etc.....this helps me to slow my eating down and recognise more then i feel full...and when i feel full i stop.if you are like me i used to be able to devour a mountain of food and my mind would not register that i am full and would not stop until i would feel like i cant breathe anymore.....do not give up...keep a food diary .....and also may i suggest keeping a journal of some sort....and just write down in it whatever comes to your head - it feels so much better to pour everything out even if it is on paper, so you are not thinking about it....which affects how you feel.....which could lead you to eat and eat....hope this help a tiny bittake careclaudette xx</blockquote>
