I’m a terrible comfort eater. It’s just taken me about 45 mins to get my baby to nap so I’m sat eating hot chocolate mix (it’s a good make - proper chocolate flakes not powder!!) I do this all the time. If I go to the shop for some groceries I’ll buy 2 chocolate bars to eat on the drive home it’s almost compulsive as there’s not much enjoyment trying to get them eaten and the packets hidden before I arrive home. The thing is, when I try to confide in people about it I’m often not taken seriously as I’m quite slim (although definitely heavier than my ideal weight), but it makes me feel horrible and I’m worried about my teeth.
The only time it’s ever stopped is a few years ago before having children I took Prozac for 6 months. It stopped immediately and it was sooo freeing being able to just eat intuitively and not crave comfort food and think about where I was going to get my next snack from! I can’t take Prozac now as I’m breastfeeding and would like to find another solution if possible.
Does any one have any advice or similar experiences?
