Comfort Food
You can claim this does’nt ring a bell of familiarity but it does…
the invisible warm hugs that makes us feel comforted ,reassured, consoled,happy and fulfilled… yes it is that deep. LOL
The sleepless nights due to restlessness,sadness and that uncomfortable feeling that seems to stick around most days. And all you think of to make you feel better is food, not just any food but the one that provides nostalgic feeling, brings back memories and hold a sentimental value.
This nostalgic feeling may be to a person, culture, country or even childhood, regardless, it simply brings us joy. we are drawn to these food in times when we feel not quite ourselves or want to go down memory lane and it doesnt matter if its bad for our health, we crave it and cant find the words to express the feeling that comes with eating it.
Pure joy is what you derive from comfort food. It doesnt matter how long it takes to make the meal or how stressful the process is, all you can think of is the unspeakable joy that comes from eating it and thats all the motivation you need. You can be seen smiling while making meals at odd hours, but you dont care if you look crazy, you just want to eat.
Comfort food could be something as simple as a cup of coffee at midnight, ice cream on a cold night or a bowl of soup in the middle of a hot day. It doesnt have to make sense, as long as it gives the needed feeling, thats all taht matters.
A cheesy greasy burger in the middle of a diet regimen may seem detrimental to the process but if it’s what is needed as a comfort food, you’re right on track.
