Does anybody here turn to food when they feel emotional? I'm trying to break the habit and I'm looking for people in the same boat. Please feel free to add me

    I bored eat. It is a terrible habit. So far, and I am not that far into it, but I am trying to figure out what triggers it. This week, I go walk during the time that I would normally want to graze. Or I come onto MFP and read success stories. A few of those and the desire passes. I don't eat out of anger or for comfort, so perhaps others can help out with tactics for that.
