[QUOTE="Antje77, post: 2358267, member: 372207"] Don't apologise, venting can be very good for your health! Aww, I think you know best yourself. Have you tried to find alternatives to comfort foods? So not 'healthy foods' per se to substitute carby comfort foods (I mean, who's going to believe a salad is a satisfying substitute for a bar of chocolate, or tomatoes and peppers with hummus will satisfy a craving for a bag of crisps?) but real comfort foods, only lower carb. I'm currently very happy eating squares of this instead of chocolate: 100 gr. dark chocolate (85% or higher), 60 gr. of nut butter of choice (check the label for unexpected ingredients), 60 gr. butter, 100 gr. nuts of choice. (I also added some powdered ginger and chilli). Simply melt everything au bain marie, mix in the nuts and let set for a couple of hours before cutting into squares.

Or I make cheese crisps. Just grate a hard cheese and zap in the microwave for a couple of minutes on a baking sheet (with spices if you like).
