The best reassurance I can give is from personal experience.....Eating too much....or drinking too much...or any form of "imbibement" is just our way of attempting to "comfort" and "take care" of ourselves when we're feeling pain. I say this because I found this observation very soothing when I was kicking myself after a major weight gain. Please don't be rough on yourself and ask yourself what other factors in your life are causing you to turn to food for that comfort. Once you've identified what's really bugging you....the eating will regulate (I promise)...But again, in the meantime, don't beat yourself up. This is really common. Hang in there....love grace
