😟 Food as comfort ends up betraying us and we wind up more burdened hormonally, which leads to physical inflammation, mental fog, mood issues. The initial sedative effect is welcome, though, and needed in times of great stress. I only know a very tiny bit of what you are going through. It sounds like there has been a lot of uncertainty. That is the worst. Not knowing, speculating, then the anger, sadness. There are so many legitimate reasons to feel crappy and the Snickers/Lays hangover just makes it worse (just guessing based on my knowledge of hospital vending machines). {{{{{HUG}}}} You will find that fasting gives you clarity of thought and breaks the dependence on food. Drink your coffee and tea. The hunger pangs are brief and manageable. This is a good decision you are making for yourself that will make you stronger.
