Answers:
I think comfort foods take us back to being nurtured as children (quite literally) by food!. Some people find a common theme in their comfort foods (creamy, diary products, etc)!.

I personally love coffee, toast, mashed potatoes, warm apple pie, tea!.!.!. as you can see, my theme is warm foods!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

people eat sugar and bad food to numb any kind of pain they're feeling!.!.
so, in a way, it does comfort, but not for very long!.

it has something to do with eating carbohydrates and raising seratonin (the 'feel good' hormone) levels in your blood, but the increased levels wear off, leaving you 'hung over' from that sugar high, plus you still have the issue to deal with!.!.it's a vicious cycle!.!.so instead of eating ice cream for comfort, try to find ways to effectively deal with issues that come up in your life!.!.if you're lonely/bored/in any negative mood, go have some fun with a friend or something, visit a family member, do something that you like to do, go for a short walk, or just go to bed earlier so there isn't any late night to deal with!.

i try not to eat in association with any emotion, but i still do eat sugary stuff when i'm bored sometimes!.

eating excess sugar and stuff of the like can actually be a chemical addiction, just like alcohol or drugs!. really!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

whenever me and my boyfriend fight i ALWAYS eat ice cream!. my comfort food is probablly chocolate!. i dont really have 1 comfort food!. i guess eating in general is my comfort food!. we have comfort foods to take our minds off whats bothering us, to make us feel better and forget our problems!. i had a friend whos comfort food was ice!.!.!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Mac 'N Cheese makes me feel all warm and fuzzi inside! =D and when Im sad I can eat like half the gallon of ice cream all by myself haha! and chocolate is like my fav!. comfort food or cookies or brownies! Yum!Www@FoodAQ@Com

All foods are comfort foods!. It is a mind thing, you can sit and eat anything!. Www@FoodAQ@Com
