Abstract

first thing I wanted was a big bowl of chocolate cake, and that alone had more calories in than just my dinner.It was crazy and it started as a one-off, every now and again when things were bad, but what I realized Is that every day is bad. Each day has its own challenges and reaching for that comfort food, long term isn’t good! There are so many other ways to cope.For me it became a daily thing, each day I tricked myself into imagining the only way I could get through the day was to at the end have the enjoyment of cake.

We all have this habit and it’s not a good one! When you’re feeling sorry for yourself a quick fix can be that chocolate bar

Everyone has the right to feel sorry for themselves and eat cake, but that’s not the point I’m making here. The point is when this happens every day, it spirals out of control and that quick fix turns into a coping mechanism in life.

I used to be there when I was younger I used to spend my day in school upset, it was horrible for me, and when I got home the first thing I wanted was a big bowl of chocolate cake, and that alone had more calories in than just my dinner.

It was crazy and it started as a one-off, every now and again when things were bad, but what I realized Is that every day is bad. Each day has its own challenges and reaching for that comfort food, long term isn’t good! There are so many other ways to cope.

For me it became a daily thing, each day I tricked myself into imagining the only way I could get through the day was to at the end have the enjoyment of cake. But rapidly I started gaining weight, as anyone would eating 500+ more calories a day.

My health was declining and diabetes was a worry so I thought of other ways to cope, there were a few:

Music

Gaming

Binge watching movies

But out of all these the one that most helped me was gaming, it was my escape and thing to look forward to. As after all at the end of the day, I had my health to reward me, and my family, and that should be enough.

Eventually, when I got myself out of that mindset things started to improve, not every day was a bad one where I would wallow in pity for myself, life looked brighter but it’s all about realizing the situation and changing it.

What’s you’re comfort food you always go to?
