Overeating

Is overeating a coping mechanism?

We must, in life, learn to coping with many circumstances that we found unsatisfactory, from the infant stage, through the child stage, through growing years, teen age, young adult, adult, working life, and into retirement. What if overeating is just a coping method that we have imposed on our authentic self?

Saturday night, in a one hour period (7.15 to 8.15), there 12 food commercials. Last post I estimated 3 per hour. TV must become a selected programs only item, not the default evening activity. The default may be a intellectual undertaking to find the true essence of self, the authentic self, before I learned any coping skills.
