I don’t have issues with food or use it to cope and am not a stress eater. What I feel has nothing to do with food. But pizza sure tastes better then salad and apples.

Thanks, Mountaindewed--I knew there was a (yet another) reason I liked RuPaul. 'Addiction to anxiety' sure makes sense. I never made sense of it this way either, but there must be some sort of payoff, if only familiarity, right? . . . I think your point about food also makes sense. Sometimes when we feel we have to eat 'healthy,' it takes so much effort that it too could add to our anxiety.
Have a low-anxiety day (and I'll try to do the same)!
