Once you can divert the focus away from food, then that should make it easier to modify the food factor
Thanks I do need to do that you're dead right. I have started with a little bit of mindfulness. I also taking a few pointers from a guy called Jordan Peterson. Things like setting goals, schedules, organisation and the like. It's not the job but the way I deal with it. Like learning new skills to do something.
Same with my diet. I learned from my parents or whoever that the reaction to stress is comfort and to protect yourself which to me means the couch and food unfortunately. Something I have to fix too. I guarantee if I fix the stress, the diet will sort itself out!
