I grew up in an Italian home so carbs and pastas were the centerpieces of all of our meals. Trying to give those up are near impossible, especially when I get emotional about something. I go back to what gave me pleasure and comfort while I was growing up. So my addiction to certain foods is more emotioinal than anything. And what is funny is, I never really was addicted to those foods then.....now that I am older, they seem to bring me so much more comfort. So I think we eat what brings us comfort, especially in stressful times. I know I need to give up a lot of carbs if I ever want to lose weight, but.................
