Know your comfort food!
Comfort food is a gift to yourself. It’s associated with good thoughts & warm feelings, so it improves your sense of well-being & decreases loneliness. It’s the friend who never disappoints or ditches you. It’s a “social surrogate.” So next time you need a little emotional pick-up, don’t be ashamed to crave the crispy, salty, starchy, soft, sweet or sinful…just bite in!
Remember not to go overboard though. If you need comfort food all the time, then you may want to look at the deeper cause for needing so much comfort. Therapy perhaps?!
