comfort zone

[scruffscat]

I was just wondering why it is that whenever some people feel stressed,me included,it just feels soooooooooooo nice to scoff your face off !! any ideas?

[dot.hawkes]

well yes as it happens. i think that sometimes the thought that we are losing control of our emotions brings out a natural instinct for survival and to survive we nead to eat, but with me I SUBSTITUTE VODDY FOR FOOD SO I AM NO JUDGE.

Think we all do exactly the same. When I'm stressed or worried about anything though, I cant eat at all, feel sick at the thought of food.

Actually I'm going on me hols at end of July, so I really could do with being stressed for quite a few weeks beforehand!

Because food tastes nice! It is one of life's joys. Like sex. It has to be or we would stop doing it and then we would become extinct!

I think when we get stressed we feel we must preserve ourselves, so we eat to reassure ourselves. It makes us feel instantly better- and if it's sugary we get the high from it. Nothing worse than being miserable and hungry.

It's a well known fact that examiners mark higher after lunch!!
