Our relationship with food is something we all share, and it plays a role in many aspects of life. For most, enjoying a meal at a restaurant, a picnic in the park, or treats at the cinema are social experiences to look forward to. Food is often part of our celebrations and can also provide comfort during difficult times.
Many of us have turned to chocolate or a glass of wine after a stressful or emotional event—it’s a common response. However, for some, food takes on a different role. It can become a way to cope with life’s challenges, a means of distraction, or even a form of control. When emotions become overwhelming, food may fill that void—whether through overeating, bingeing, restricting, purging, or other behaviors.
If this resonates with you or someone you care about, we hope you find helpful information here.
