Comfort eating is one of the hardest addictions to break because unlike drugs, you cannot go cold turkey and stop.
Most of us have never actually been hungry and eat because it is lunchtime or because we are sad and want to distract ourselves.
What worked for me was fasting. It was incredibly hard at first but it did reset my relationship with food. My stomach now decides when and what I eat, not my mind.
