Mmmmmm Food

Have you ever been sick in bed with the flu and you just wanted to eat some soup whether it was Campbell’s or just any kind to make you feel better? Or have you ever had problems with you boyfriend or girlfriend that all you do is eat chocolate, candy, ice cream, etc., a lot of junk food to distract you from how you feel? It could be any problem like a fight with your sibling or friends that when times get rough all you want to do is eat. Many people go out to bars or restaurants to feel better either by drinking or eating a whole lot of food. You can even get creative when eating food like popcorn with chocolate or chocolate on top of some more chocolate. It is just like smoking cigarettes, everyone who does it feels better because it relives stress but instead of getting addicted food, it’s just there for you emotionally.

            It seems that everyone can relate to eating food when placed in different foods, but why do we result in food to find comfort? Food is just something that gives you relief, its something you can depend on that will not call you names or make you feel sad; it just makes you feel good. From experience, every time I get into an argument or disagreement with my boyfriend, we don’t talk as much or see each other so I tend to eat more than I usually do. I eat a lot of candy bars, sweet and sour candy, or just ice cream, that in the end it would have been better if we would of just talked about the situation. If we know that there is an alternative solution rather then just eating, why do we still do it? I guess we just don’t know to talk to one another or have low communication skills, that we don’t handle the situation with any thought. Food is something that is always going to be there at any time. Have you ever been placed or find this effect similar to you as it is to me? Or is it something just unnatural and we should get a different alternative?
