your feelings about the use and 'misuse' of food in your life...
Hi Everyone,
@Hope4me had the brilliant idea of starting a discussion about our feelings around food.
I thought we could write about how we feel in order to come to terms with it- like, when you are about to tuck into a unhealthy meal of junk food, what's going through your head? Would you like to share?
This is further to the discussion When food replaces love.
My personal issues are with wine, cheese and cake. I use these foods to comfort myself, habitually. I would say it is a type of addiction and it's somehow related to my anxiety. I have done this since childhood.
I have mixed feelings about talking about it.... mainly, I think I don't want to encourage others to feel critical of themselves... I certainly don't believe that you need to be a certain weight to be happy, or that there are 'bad' foods that you must always avoid! 
There is nothing wrong with eating cake, if you really do enjoy it and you are not misusing the cake to fill an emotional need.
