I use food to give me energy when I was very sick and still use food for the same reason even though I am better. It is now a bad habit. Any suggestions? I also eat to calm nausea which I can have frequently due to another illness.

    I have a disease that causes it. Wish tea would help. Acupuncture helps a bit.

    I did take ginger peach tea. This helped me not eat more...nausea...well possibly it will help if I drink rather then eat!

    Hi Shvits, I know what that feels like. Soda crackers sometimes help, sometimes they make me eat more though. Food is for energy. Are you eating enough regularly? If not, then hunger can cause nausea and reactive eating. Reactive eating is when you react to not eating enough by eating too much. The idea is finding a level of food you can live with where you àrn't so hungry you feel sick and enough food that its giving you the energy you need to do whatever your day brings. Good day to you!
