I'm confused

I've had a rough week here as my allergies have been flaring up mega while trying to workout daily and trim the caloric intake. My question to you guys is "why do I crave toxins (in the form of comfort food) when I'm already feeling blue from sinus and muscle-burn pains?" It seems like I need to see a shrink about this because it just doesn't make any sense to me.
Thanks

    You don't need a shrink, most ppl are just like you!!
    We tend to want what isn't best for us. It's modifying
    our behavior and being concioius of our food. Which
    you sound like you are. Just preplan/log what you
    are going to eat and stick to it best you can. :)

    For me I did this basically because I grew up using candy and sweets to feel better. It is a hard habit to break, but one that needs to be broken.
