Food of course is the likely answer but does it go any deeper for any of you?

When I was younger, I was kind of ignored, not neglected by any means, but it was easier for my parents to set me in front of the TV and give my chips, because that's what made me happy.

Unfortunately, I never grew out of this. I associated food with being happy and I stress/binged eat any time I got down. I never really learned moderation.

What about you guys?

I always loved food, this is probably one of the most pathetic things you'll ever hear but when I turned 16 & got my first car one of my first thoughts was, now I can have In-n-out whenever I want. Yeah, that's pretty sad. As I got older I came to realize that in a lot of ways food didn't judge me & gave me that small part of pleasure. Now that I'm 44 & in the middle of my 3 month prep for my surgery & my health is on the verge of getting out of control & things in general are starting not to work I wish that my feelings weren't so damn tasty....

I saw the question in the "Recent Topics" sidebar and answered it. Please forgive me for contaminating your precious man-cave with my estrogen.

WRONG.
men don’t post much here anymore because women like you just can’t seem to comprehend the notion of subforums. thus ruining the comraderie we are seeking.
or you just can’t stop yammering. probably both.
go to the Women’s forum...... SEE NO MEN THERE.

Truth. I've been here for awhile and women just can't help themselves. I've literally seen women give a man advice on how to grow a beard.

A thread can go two pages full of women giving their two pennies before a man post anything.
