Then I'll comfort eat, I'll put on weight, my clothes will feel tighter, so I'll feel less confident, so I'll comfort eat, so I'll put more weight on!
It would be funny if it didn't affect my life so much.
Do you know people to talk to when you feel like eating who can help take your mind off wanting to eat?

Unfortunately no, I'm pretty much all alone in the world. The only person I ever see is my only friend when he visits every six weeks or so. Other than that I'm in touch online with my sister but we never really talk. So I'm extremely lonely. That's part of it too. Usually I can get by just eating normal food and then I'll go crazy on everything I've been missing and add another few pounds and because I can't exercise I can't get the weight off! It's so maddening and uncomfortable. And the more weight I put on, the even harder it gets to stand up and try to walk in my apartment. My place is very cluttered and I can't do anything about it on my own because of my bad back.
