Comfort eaters unite to beat the urge

hi, I am a comfort eater and sugar junkie. I get the urge to eat high calorie, low nutrient food when I feel stressed, sad, anxious or even just stuck! Although I eat little treats at other times, these are usually more sensible portions, but when the comfort eating urge comes on it's different; I become a gannet and gorge on crisps, haribo, ice cream, chocolate etc, and it undermines my weight goals and makes me feel even worse afterwards. When the urge comes on it can be so strong, it's impossible to resist, and it feels like it will make things okay, ease the pain, comfort me. This is only temporary and afterwards I feel much worse so it's a bad habit I'd like to kick. I heard that comfort eaters like myself have the best chance of beating their habit if they group together and motivate each other. This is what I'd like to do, and I am hoping other self confessed comfort eaters will join me, so we can support each other to stay strong when the overwhelming tidal urge bears down on us! I am not ashamed and neither should anyone else be. Comfort eating, or binge eating, is a coping mechanism and when we enter fight or flight mode, our body is telling us to reach for the high calorie food. It's tough, and in a climate of unhealthy food excess, it's natures little joke because we are fighting our own inbuilt survival mechanism, even if it is counterproductive in the long run. I want to find the will power and determination to resist the short term food traps when I feel crappy, and embrace the long term goal of a healthy body and mind. Who's in? Let's do it together (that sounds SO cheesy, lol). Let's do it!
