    The snacking of junk food is from boredom.

    The overreating of normal food is from growing up loving food <3

    I'm happy that I don't feel as though I have an unhealthy relationship when it comes to food.

    Everything...doing something good, having a horrible day, stress, happines. I'm a really really bad comfort eating, and not just when things are bad, also "treating" myself when things are going good.

    boredom mainly. and when i eat prepared regular meals, i have a tendancy to keep eating when i am full. like the food will go away forever and i will never be able to taste it again. i am guessing this comes from my stepdad finishing his food, then taking it from my plate even though there was more to serve up on the table. i ate fast so he couldnt eat mine....and i wasnt allowed seconds because i was overweight.....go figure out that mess lol

    I can't have snacks in the house as I will eat them (opportunistic / boredom). My mother-in-law is visiting and she made blueberry muffins two days ago. I've consumed 7 in two days :sad:

    I tend to stalk the fridge about a week before TOM arrives. My appetite changes pretty noticeably.

    Usually I'm pretty good, but I have to remember the cardinal rule: If I buy it, I will eat it.

    Peanut M&Ms are the worst. I'll eat an entire bag (the large one) of them in one sitting if left to my own devices. But if I don't buy it, I won't eat it, which is a blessing!
