DC, thanks for sharing. I know that in the past I have used food when I was stressed, happy, sad, bored, etc. It never satisfied those needs longterm and I had to find other ways to satisfy those needs. I still enjoy food, the taste, the mouthfeel, trying something new, experiencing culture through food, etc., but those are rare events and my tried and true foods are healthy, filling, and also tasty.
I love your post and I'm glad you shared.
Not TMI at all.
