Eating to comfort myself

I have been eating to comfort myself. My therapist thinks that I am doing it because I need to be punished for the negative thing that I've done or said. With that being said I've gained 30lbs in 3 months. I keep eating junk food and fast food. I know better it's just hard not to. The fact that I keep being this way is ridiculous. Obesity runs in my family and I don't want to go down that same road it just seems like I don't know when to turn.

@straightforwardPear7630 I struggle with this too. I'm so sorry. For me I use it as a coping mechanism- a way of self soothing but ultimately it hurts me in the long run. Thank you for sharing your struggle here. I think it is brave and you are not alone.
