One thing I've found with my weight loss patients is that there are as many reasons that people eat for emotional comfort as their are people! Every one is different, and beautiful in their own way.
Yes, I do lab tests and prescribe drugs, but I feel my most important job is to help them see and accept their delightful uniqueness and learn to live (including eating and moving) in a way that will suit them. The body/mind connection is the most important.
Whatever a person's reason may be, it's valid.
