Do you eat to help cope with emotional issues?

Oh, that is so my husband. He is worst in the mornings, because he has gone the whole night without food. He is like a whole other person. It was noticeably bad enough that his roommates in college distinguished between ‘‘Sr. Olives’’ and ‘‘Morning Sr. Olives.’’ It is well known that you never speak to Morning Sr. Olives until after he has eaten breakfast.

There is some speculation that something may be wrong with his health, such as low blood sugar. He is finally going to see a doctor about it next week.

No, I don’t eat when I have emotional difficulties.

But sometimes I drink. And sometimes I drink root beer floats. Other times, other drinks. They’re usually full of calories, and often full of alcohol as well.
