I feel exactly the same way about food. It comforts me whenever I have any emotion that is uncomfortable. I've been in therapy for years trying to figure out why I can't stop eating. I haven't been successful so far but I'm hoping my sleeve sugery on December 16 will be a powerful tool to help me turn things around. I think its important to find a therapist that specializes in addiction. I recently started seeing a new therapist that I found through my bariatric surgeon. Good Luck and hang in there.
