[QUOTE="zand, post: 524931, member: 85197"] Yes Totto. Today I have learnt a lot. After I made the last post on this thread, I went away to try to think about this a bit more constructively. I thought back through my life to the first time I ever resorted to comfort eating to mask my feelings. It took a while, it was a long way back. I was 6 years old. There was a massive argument which I didn't really understand. I just knew that my Mum was upset and shouting at me, so it must be my fault. It wasn't. As an adult I can see that. As a child I assumed it was my fault because she was shouting when she looked at me. I went into the house and ate chocolate after chocolate, I just could not understand what was going on. I didn't know what I had done wrong. I had been sent in, so it must be my fault. And that was the start of me damping down my feelings with food. Yes eating carbs and hitting the bottle are very similar. The bottle was my next choice, but it never helped me before so why would it help now? OK sorry about the next song which I've just added to today's playlist. It's how I am feeling right now...But hey, I [B]am feeling something,[/B] so that has to be better than how I was before.
