It's hard for me to handle stress sometimes. I find comfort in eating a lot but I know it's not good for me.
Oh, that's too bad. Overeating due to stress is sometimes considered an eating disorder.
I think it's a common thing but it doesn't mean it's healthy. I usually eat sweets, sugar seems to be making me feel better.
There's a phenomenon called emotional eating, which is overeating so that you can feel better about your situation. Would you say that is what you do?
Pretty much. Do you know a way I can stop doing that?

Response: Ah sure. To avoid overeating because of emotional eating, one must resist the temptation and work out instead to destress.
