Well, this "vice" is really a dysfunctional way of trying to soothe yourself, right? So you need to learn new ways rather than buy into society's hatred of anyone fat or emotionally out of control (for whatever length of time). If your dog or favourite friend got fat would you loathe him? Try to be equally kind and understanding of yourself. Summon whatever compassion you can have for others and attempt to treat yourself the same way.
Thanks for this!
