Hi and welcome, DeeeMac

There can be a number of reasons why we turn to food for comfort, but one is that the types of food that we choose, upset our hormones. You may find this interesting phcuk.org/wp-content/upload...

Me too, I find it helps to fill myself up with healthy food as much as I can so I really don't feel hungry for the comfort food. Also, we need to divert ourselves from the comfort eating with other rewards. I use dot to dot and colouring, web surfing, watching a program etc. and eat something else until the desire to stuff the crisps or chocolate into my mouth fades. It gets easier over time.

Hi, mummania , Welcome

Yes... eating enough at mealtimes helps prevent (hunger and) snacking.
