Comfort Eating

[Re.TiReD]

I don't think you've ever enjoyed the soothing calmness of sipping on green tea. :-\

:wasalamex

I dislike tea with a passion :$

That was just an example, some people do that. I'm personally happy sitting beside the roaring coal fire (which is kinda stinky but still) with a mug of cocoa. But that's me.

do you know wha joiflur is on about ?

Lol I was equating comfort eating with therapeutic shopping but if I talk about that you guys are gonna diss me :$

i always comfort eat, i need to have chocolate, the taste just makes you feel so good.

Wow, and you're a bro :thumbs_up

lol
I eat when im bored...
I'll jus look in the fridge every 5 mins

And then there's that....

The sister's explanation of what comfort eating is, was very clear.
its like when something bad happens in ur life and you're mentally down you then become accustomed to just eating a particular food,if you are still not satisfied with what it means then there is always google

Couldnt have explained it better myself .. kool

:salamext:

When I feel boring I eaaaaat , Thats Comfort Innit ?

:wasalamex

I dont understand how you can feel hungry when bored *scratches head*

But I always say I'm hungry when I'm bored, is that the same? ;p

funny when I am mentally down my appetite completely shuts down -- I almost marvel at how being down can do the reverse for others.. I mean where do you get your appetite when you are bummed -- don't you just want to cocoon yourself and not exist?

the only thing I like to do with I am really down is shop for pre world war II surgical instruments..

 

[Re.TiReD]

don't you just want to cocoon yourself and not exist?

No :$

Well yeah....but then you can eat and be cocooned at the same time huh?

But for real, nah I dont feel that way. I mean, I like existing. It's just sometimes you just feel too weak too. So that's where the eating comes in.... Heck yeah! That makes sense

the only thing I like to do with I am really down is shop for pre world war II surgical instruments..

They actually sell those?

They actually sell those?

sure they do.. here is a post mortem set

they haven't changed much for the most part although now a days they use the stryker saw instead

gets you to the skull faster, so you don't spend three hours chiseling at someone's calvaria....

 

[Re.TiReD]

Ahh....erm... I wouldnt like to meet you on a dark night

Lol but feeling down doesnt make me feel.....evil :-[ if anything the heart feels real tender. You're just frightening

I am a sweetheart my nice just told me
collecting old surgical instruments is a hobby -- haven't felt the need to use them on anyone---yet ^o)

I don't think that bulimic or hyperphagic behaviors are specific to one gender. Men are as declined to depression as women. One eats a lot to fill a psychological, affective or social emptiness. A therapy is needed in deed.

Nice hobby :shade: Well maybe I'll think so one day...

Agreed. The percentage is probably higher in women though. I think men tend to vent in different ways. They release it rather than bottle it.

.. I have always been an acquired taste :-\

.. I have always been an acquired taste :-\

I'm begininng to realise just how unique you are sis

But back on topic, I was actually surprised when I read the percentage of males with eating disorders, subhanAllah I'd never have thought it.

 

[bewildred]

It's just that us blabbering chicks have this tendency to talk freely about our probs. It's a kinda taboo for them guys. When smoking, drinking and other physical abusive behavior may sound "glamourous" compulsive eating is a chick thing.

 

[Re.TiReD]

Yeah, they have a hard time admitting it.

Seen it.

It's sad really.

I mean in the sense that under that tough exterior there's a lil bitta squishiness :$

Actually, I've been wanting to use this quote since forever, lol he'll be so that I used it (I think) :$

Contrary to popular belief, us men are complex creatures..I really think they should dedicate a whole degree on how to understand us and how to treat us

LOL!

;D


Nah not always btw, I mean who loves tea and uses it as a relaxant?

me :hiding: sweet tea aaaaaaaaaaah
when im upset i dont comfort eat though..i just dont eat at all :coolious:

 

[Ibn Abi Ahmed]

That was just an example, some people do that. I'm personally happy sitting beside the roaring coal fire (which is kinda stinky but still) with a mug of cocoa. But that's me.

I enjoy doing that as well, sitting near a fireplace on a cold winter night is like seriously relaxing. Especially if there's a comfortable chair near the fireplace + a good book + either hot cocoa or green tea = Comfort.

 

[Re.TiReD]

lol! What's the point not eating amani? ;p

Well I cant explain it, it just so happens that this time I was unwell on top of other things so I guess having a cold does increase ur appetite.

And yeah, Abu Sayyad, that is some serious comfort. Actually, if you think about it...Warmth is just comfort. Just that one thing.

 

[S_87]

lol! What's the point not eating amani? ;p

.

if i ate id feel sick and fat so that makes me worse. so i dont eat and lose weight and that makes me feel good. the opposite to comfort eating i guess. plus a great diet plan

 

[MO783]

ok i understand what you mean , i dont really would say i comfort eat when i am depressed, I have another way although it is embarrasing

 

[Sahabiyaat]

some people can control there comfort eating, so like when there upset they eat , and then theyll stop and theres those who go on eating untiil they become over weight.

im a bit like amani, ...if somethings bugging me, i stop eating altogether rather than comfort eat, and either discuss my problemm, which is the best remedy, trust me, and if thats not possible, i just give myself some 'me time' with some tea and a book, and just think things over, and pray ofcourse.

 

[Re.TiReD]

Yeah....lol this thread makes me laugh now actually. Misery is for one day only....after that.... lol Alhamdulillah

 

[Sahabiyaat]
