Food was always comforting to me.. But still to this day I struggle with being overweight. I tell myself "it doesn't matter, no one would likes anyways, so why not have the chips/candy" It's a vicious cycle, one of self loathing, and guilt. Now, these days, I limit myself to having a small bowl of chips, and a bag lasts me 3 or 4 days...... less guilt and I still have what I want, not necessarily what I need.
