From what I remember from health class, studies show that single people are, on average, thinner than married people....but then again (as described in another thread I made) relationships can sometimes be more lonely than the single life. However, single people are also more likely to die earlier than married people (I think).
I agree though, eating is something that I do when I feel that I have nothing else to do--like talk to another person. Plus, reaching out on the forum has really helped me put my situation into perspective, which has helped with taking control of my consumption.
Loneliness sucks. Good thing there are great forums out there, like 3 Fat Chicks, because it's not always easy to find like-minded people (or people who know what each other are going through).
