You overindulge… Feel bad, feel crappy, feel like hitting the gym once won’t do $hit ('cause it won’t). Then you eat- and it kind of goes away. You feel happy for a bit.

I don’t mean to sound full of myself at all but what I did was replace the comfort I got from eating with the accomplishment I got from lifting. 2 years later, down to 205lb and going.
