According to the book "You On A Diet" which I highly recommend, people tend to eat "Bulky, fill you up food, like crackers and pasta" when they are "Lonely or sexually frustrated.". They tend to eat sugar when they are depressed. So I'm thinking my marital cookie addiction was a combination of feeling lonely and depressed due to sexual frustration. I was never overweight before I was married and I've dropped another 5 lbs. without even thinking about it in the last week.
I can relate to this. I've always been a person who turned to carbs and sugar, especially sugar, for comfort. Now I find out that as a 4, sugar is one of my addictions. In the last few weeks as I've made some real progess with my M and myself, I noticed my sugar/snack cravings dropped way down. I've also dropped a few pounds without even thinking about it.
