You give us the answer right here:
You’re using food to comfort yourself which, at one time, was the wisest strategy you could do at that time, knowing what you knew then. However, that’s a strategy that you’ve outgrown and maybe (and I say this kindly) after 50 years, you’re beginning to recognize that the comfort your food is giving you is short-lived and has other side effects that you don’t want. The fields you’ve chosen address the side effects of your old strategy, but they don’t really address the reason why you needed that former strategy in the first place.
Heal whatever wound that that you’re trying to comfort. When you heal it, you will no longer need the food you had been using.
And if you have no clue what your wound might be, you can riff off that tired slogan, “It’s food, not love,” and use JAAJ’s Daily Self Love Stack
