Food soothes. That is not a design flaw in you — it is one of the oldest comforts there is. The question is never how to feel less, but what the reaching-for-food moment is pointing at: tiredness, loneliness, an un-had break, an un-eaten lunch.
Regular meals are the unglamorous foundation. A body that has been fed predictably has far less reason to demand emergency comfort at night.
Curiosity beats criticism. Noticing “long day, skipped lunch, biscuits at midnight” is information you can plan around — no verdict required.
If food or body image ever feels distressing rather than just noisy, support is available — the resources in the footer of every page are there for exactly that.
