comfort eating is just porn for your taste buds

when I feel low, frustrated, stressed etc I find myself habitually staring at the fridge.
What is happening I think is that I am seeking comfort in a good thing, but the danger is that I eat till I am full but whatever caused me to eat in the first place hasn’t been addressed. It’s just a quick fix to help me feel better. It’s an easy out and a functional pseudo saviour.
Some people go shopping and spend therapeutically , others look at pornagraphic images, others have a drink, still others go do something that makes them feel powerful or important. They’re all dirty saviours that don’t deliver. What makes you think that your eating is any less a prob than a drunk? You get a quick fix but you are never deeply satisfied, and you are always left longing for more.

It a bit like KFC regret. You have a craving, you think those sweet smells of the colonel will satisfy you, but very quickly you are left feel dirty and greasy and wishing you had never gone there.

Psalm 36: 7-9
…. You give them drink from the waters of your delight….

It’s so easy to be decieved into believng that his cup and his table won’t satisfy.
