Eating is just a symptom.  Many people eat when they feel uncomfortable, and even comfortable, emotions.  Learning to tolerate your emotions and finding effective coping skills is part of the answer.  Try to be patient and gentle with you!  By granting yourself kindness and grace, you will be able to deal more effectively with your depression, and thus, you eating behavior.  Best, Dr Patricia Pitts, PhD   The Bella Vita   Los Angeles, CA
