Are some of those past things in your life still unresolved? Sounds like you are in need of feeling comfort & bread can definitely give the comfort while eating it not so sweet that it tastes yucky, but just a nice flavor to make you feel the comfort while eating it that you aren't getting with unresolved stresses in your life.....eg....your husband's application for the job in Dubai without telling you anything about that.....did you ever confront him about the way he is treating you as his wife? Know you have new puppies in the house & even with it being a wonderful thing, it's still stressful thinking about finding homes for every one of them. You may feel miserable after eating all that bread, but it's usually because there is something miserable going on in our life that is the trigger in the first place that needs to be resolved.

I have the opposite reaction to stress, but not eating leaves me feeling as horrible as overeating does in your situation. I know that it's always due to underlying issues that I need to deal with & I really can't resolve my eating issues until I resolve my life issues.
