How to cope with comfort eating


15.04.2008

Two friends talking about their eating disorder

Talk to someone

By talking to your local doctor or a counsellor you should be able to work out some of the reasons why you may be comfort eating and different ways to manage it. Once you've taken the first step it can be surprising how quickly you begin to change your coping strategies.
For further information talk to your GP, psychologist, counsellor or dietician. Your local phone book should have the contact details for these people in your local area, or contact Beat (formerly the Eating Disorders Association)
