    Do we, collectively we, need to move our focus from food as an emotional crutch rather than fuel? I am still muddling through this obviously. I keep learning from you all

    I think we do. I eat food for enjoyment, within my calories of course, as well as for fuel. I think I'd do well to learn to eat for fuel more often. But using ot as an emotional crutch really messes us up.

    I think part of it is we can afford to over eat , just thinking of old movies where the rich guy was over weight ..

    Good luck

    Stop lumping everyone into the same category as yourself. That's one thing I do not do...Eat as an emotional crutch.

    Excuse me? Did I say we all DO eat as an emotional crutch? If it doesnt apply to you, dont respond. I think you felt the need to respond so nastily because of some insecurities you feel within yourself.

    For me, if I treat food as only fuel, there would be no reason to make it taste good or eat what I like or what have you. IIRC, the book Brave New World had meal pills that people took instead of eating. The pills had all the nutrition necessary for human survival. Taste and flavor are important to me.
