We normally experience being sad. We certainly have ways to cheer ourselves up and even make ourself forget the loneliness.
I eat ice cream and chocolates when I am sad and it make me feel better. How about you? What do you eat when you are lonely?

Lots of chocolate and lots of ice cream, although it making me feel better is short-lived and I can end up feeling worse further down the line.

Nothing! Emotion eating causes me to be a very fat me. I stay away from foods that could cause me to not only be sad but depressed about being fat. I look for healthy alternatives if I succumb to emotion eating by enjoying soups and salad or some other substitute. However when sad food is not usually on my list.

Well that is certainly great for you. I guess its a nice way to erase the sadness in your part. However, in my case, I really do not have the appetite to eat anything. I guess I am really emotional. So when I am sad, I usually spend time alone inside my room to reflect. This usually eases out the sadness. When I am feeling well and happy that the best time to eat for me....

Of course, I eat chocolate when I am upset. That is if I can eat. Most of the times when my mood is off, I am unable to eat. Still when I do, chocolate is the best thing to eat. It never fails to calm my nerves in any situation. I eat some when I'm preparing for exams. It helps make me less nervous.

Hi tarapot. Pretty much nothing. When I am sad, depressed or stressed out, I don't have that much of an appetite. I never was a person to eat when I am sad. I am just not that hungry. I remember being an teenager once and when I was stressed out or when I would think about something stressful that would be going on in my life, I would not eat. I would be eating and once I start to think about the bad things then I will push my food away. I will put the remains in the refrigerator for later. I was very skinny and underweight then. I did this a lot. It was an habit. I was just that stressed out.
