Systematic Chaos

7. Trust me, I understand the stress part all too well!

And I was once a hardcore stress eater, which is a lot of how I ballooned to beyond 500 pounds. But now, when I'm stressed I am about 90% successful with turning to foods which are McDougall compliant to comfort me. Bananas are great for that, for example. And those times I do fall briefly off the wagon it's very easy to get right back on, because I'm finding that all the junk food I used to love as a kid and young adult has just gone to shit in terms of quality this past few years. There's just no incentive to eat the vast majority of it nowadays.

Anyway, I wish you the best with getting rid of your excess pounds. And thank you for the support and feedback!
