Hi always, thanks for your message. What I ment by dieting is, the weight watchers diet. I know it's healthy eating. I joined Rhapsody's group on here, plus I go to the meetings, I try to follow it but then I ruin it by comfort eating . It often happens in the afternoon, more often out of bordom. I do try to walk twice a week with friends for a couple of hours each time. When I'm out of the house I don't think about food but as soon as I get back I just feel the need to eat. It could be anything from sweet to savoury food. I will try as you said in your reply, to keep a journal. Maybe that will make me realise just how much food I'm eating. I just don't know why I eat everything I do because I do feel guilty afterwards. I'm not unhappy except when I comfort eat and I don't think I'm stressed. To tell you the truth I don't know how I feel sometimes. The only thing I know is that when I'm looking for food to eat, I'm looking for something to satisfy me. It can go on for quite a long time. I don't know whether it's sweet or salty food I'm after. So I try both hoping that it could satisfy me. I know it's not easy to follow all this, but sometimes I don't understand it myself. I know it's not good but I still do it. It's probably like taking drugs, smoking or drinking. I don't smoke or take drugs, I drink wine from time to time. You can give up smoking taking drugs or drinking but you can't give up eating. So it's alot more difficult to deal with. I'm really sorry to bother everyone with my problem, probably it's not as important as other problems. Once my children and husband come home I feel happy to have everyone home and I forget about the comfort eating.

Thanks for reading all this.
Have a nice day
