Beware comfort food
It is not uncommon to over-eat (or under-eat) when feeling lonely, bored and/or depressed. For some people (myself included), food is used as a comfort, because you are happy, if only for the moment, when you are eating. We are often trying to fill an emptiness that we feel within. Temporary "fullness" quickly turns into feeling poorly about ourselves, and more empty than before. Become aware of these habits. As much as possible, try to fill your spirit with things other than food - things that make you feel whole and complete in the long term. Of course, there is nothing wrong with treating yourself to a little soul food now and then. If you are going to splurge, make sure you indulge with guilt-free enthusiasm.
