Fem-Aries Eating and Crying

I find it that when im emotionally struck i turn to food in my comfort. And since im so physical and up and down my body never goes a pound over 121. Though i haven't weighed myself in a minute. Nothing can comfort me like food. IT just seems to have an affect that stimulates my mind and rids me of all heart ache. Food is my drug when im alone. Food is my friend when im sad. Food is my boyfriend when im bored and anything but happy. Anyone feel that way?

I used to have this problem when I was younger. Whenever I was sad or upset I ate more than I usually did. But the feeling of satisfaction I got afterwards were always temporary and short lived. I wasn't even enjoying the taste of the food I was eating. It was almost as if I were a robot mechanically shoving food into my mouth. While I was eating my mind was mostly blank. I wasn't thinking about anything in particular. I was totally absent. And after that brief satisfaction comes the guilt lol I always felt guilty and disgusting afterwards.
It took me a while to realize that my behavior was really damaging to my sense of well-being.
Realizing that you may have a problem is the first step to making any kind of improvements so you're already off to a good start 🙂

Try not to have any tempting food in the house and try not to put yourself in a tempting situation when you're out in public either. Carry some lollipops with you. They calm you down and don't make you fat lol This is what I do lol
Next time when you feel like eating to forget about your stress, remind yourself that what you are about to indulge in is unhealthy behavior and that it's totally not worth it considering the crappy feeling you'll end up with afterwards.
Hope this helps 🙂

This is a people thing, not an "Aries" thing. Some people find comfort in food because it releases those happy little endorphins.

So when you're feeling blah, grabbing that food makes you feel better because you want that temporary endorphin kick.

I don't remember the last time I cried.....and I don't like food. I eat it to not feel hungry anymore and that is basically it.

I cry all the time now that im in love, with the worst of the worst, Gemini.

I do it to forget about my emotions and feelings and memories at the moment. But I'm also trying to gain weight so this was the routine lately and it really has become a routine. Food is my preference of comfort, next to spending money. but i rather spend it on food more times so i can eat away at my problems, and gain weight at the same time hopefully.

LOL a gemini will drag you down to hell with him if you let him...doesn't sound like a happy affair.....cut it off and go single again— Someone else out there for you

I am single but unavailable and it is happy until i sometimes snap out of love and take a look at whats really going on. But then i wake up in love again like idc.

Explain away all you want, but what I just told you is the scientific explanation as to why you do it. It's kinda tied together like that.

Yep. The endorphins thing. I think I am using food as a sex replacement.
I know I am not hungry but I have to have it.....being single is terribly unhealthy.

Hahaha.

I do it out of boredom, and when I feel like crap.
I went from not eating, to eating everything in site. I'm most certainly going to gain back the 20 pounds I just lost :/
