i cannot entirely relate, but i can relate to the concept where you turn to food for comfort, or you just eat mindlessly, like its a habit. im not sure what i can offer because im still quite inexperienced for my age, but i am constantly fighting myself to control my diet and eating habits so i can ensure a better future for myself, physically.
so on the start of the new year, i started a food diary, planning my food every day and memorizing what i can and cannot eat. sometimes i even stick notes on myself to remind myself that i cannot go back to my old eating habits, as i used to be obese and chubby and round and etc. sometimes i count to ten before picking up unnecessary snacks, and i think often of how it will affect me in the long run. im not sure of your history exaclty, though, so it maybe be helpful to divulge that tidbit of informatin?
its a long fight and process, but its worth it..
