    Sorry you're feeling like poop , but I never eat my emotions or attach said emotions to fuel. That way leads to the dark side :)

    Hold up hold up oh you of no ovaries!!!! :lol:

    I don't intend on having a blow out. I have calories and I'm not afraid to use them.

    I am feeling sorry for myself and wanted a nice bit of yum to ease my pain.

    Don't make me go all Hulk :lol:

    I do think that tonight may involve a little bit of factored in chocolate. And that risotto sounds amazing!

    Mac and cheese. Really cheesy mac and cheese. With butter. (I'm feeling pretty piggy myself today, can you tell?)

    Or.. Or.. Or! Really poofy chocolate chip cookies. Slightly crispy on the outside, gooey and chocolatey on the inside. Like these:

    Or... Buttermilk biscuits. With real butter. And some shredded cheddar thrown in.



    This.

    Weirdly enough, I'm having butternut squash risotto tonight! I 'fry' the onions in a little of the chicken or vegetable stock - they soften up and also have that extra flavour. Also, because the crimson wave arrived today for me too (TMI?!!!), I've worked out I can have extra parmesan on top, which is just lush and comforting, and still leave a calorie deficit enough for an 'emergency' snack size chocolate bar - I have back ache, stomach ache AND a headache, in the grand traditions of my first day's on - I think I will need the choc bar sooner rather than later!

    If I wasn't having risotto tonight, it would probably have been my sweet potato, spinach and chickpea curry, as my go-to comfort food. With chocolate afterwards!

    New red potatoes, boil three pounds with three tablespoons of Zatarain Crab Boil, when tender cut them up leaving the peels on, melt a stick of butter with three tablespoons of finely chopped onion, pour over the potatoes, pure heaven. Chocolate? I can take it or leave it; my problem isn't sweets but savory.

    Is a cruel and senseless beast.

    Woke up today feeling as fat as a hippo, spotty and in pain. So I had an extra breakfast biscuit.

    That's just how I roll.

    Anyone got any comfort food ideas that make you feel awesome when you feel poop? Recipes would also be appreciated. I wanna feel speshul.

    ;)

    Sleep, hot bath with epsom salt, a good book, hot tea, cheese, a bit of dark chocolate, some exercise, music, vitamins.

    Sorry, I can't quite make out what you said there, must be an internet issue or a bad line or something

    .. it's OK I think I got the general point from your previous post .. you are advising pizza consumption .. gotcha

    thanks

    bah-bye now

    BTW, the yummy sweet potato curry recipe is here - jamieoliver.com/magazine/recipes-view.php?title=sweet-potato-chickpea-aamp-spinach-curry. It makes AT LEAST 6 portions, but so easy to do.

    It may be weird but a large bowl of oatmeal with chocolate chips to replace a meal does it for me. Not a calorie monster either for how satiating it is (about 200 for the oatmeal and 150 for the chocolate). I throw the chips in when the oatmeal is still a bit hot and they turn into this half melted gooey goodness that complements the oatmeal. It's more filling than eating a chocolate bar and has a comforting texture.

    For you ladies hating on this statement - I get premenstrual food cravings (although they were much less this month due to a variety of changes I made), and I sometimes get premenstrual blues, but they are two different issues for me. I've found that exercise helps with the blues better than food, or antidepressants for that matter.

    For me, not eating emotions was indeed key to developing a healthy relationship with food. I'm overweight now due to not eating mindfully, rather than eating emotions. This makes it easier to lose weight, as I just switched over to eating mindfully via MFP.

    ("Not eating emotions" encompasses more than just premenstrual blues - I'm not at all saying exercise is a quick fix for this entire issue.)

    markiend made a valid point - let's not dismiss it just because he doesn't have a uterus. Medicating with food is not just an issue premenstrually, or for women only.
