Sometimes food can be used as a disguise to diverge our thoughts from stressful things that happen in our lives. Some foods give us comfort. Comfort foods. I never realized what that meant, but it can be true. When I am feeling down or under the weather, chicken noodle soup always makes me feel better. When I am feeling the daily stresses of life and it is hitting me harder than it should, I sometimes crave chocolate. This is my comfort. Does it solve my problem? No, I don't think it does. Instead of food, I wonder if I will ever feel the need to use our treadmill? =) In a future post, I'll discuss that exercise really does relieve stress, and the treadmill really does make me feel good, sometimes...but for now, where's my chocolate.
What is your comfort food?
