True. All too often substance abuse in any form (include gambling, shopping, exercising) is a form of self-medication.

You're exactly right on that. We all develop coping mechanisms just to survive reality.

All people do it to some extent, at least all people I know, lol. I guess the secret to survive is knowing when enough is enough.

I am looking to treat all of these through WLS. I use food to cope with everything and now it's becoming a problem

I lost a lot of weight since my surgery. I work out 3 times per week. Now I drink lots of dry wine instead of stress eating.

During the treatment of Obesity so much has been uncovered in my life that it was like layers of an onion, I was doing exactly what he said, my best attempt to cope when I didn't see other options. Absolutely stated so beautifully!! Spread Kindness Like Glitter Lezette Christine Mua
