Comforting myself with food

I just noticed this recently that I have been comforting my self with food. It's something I've never done before but now I think because of job stress I do it now. It seems to be getting worse too. I have gained real fast since January. I hate my job soo much and it drives me crazy. My boss is the most annoying, demeaning jerk on the face of the earth. Everyday I come in I feel like I want to cry. It's just me and him down here in this department everyday. I feel like I have no one to turn to. I feel that I can't say anything to anyone here. I'm stuck in a rut and I can't get out! I need so advice or something.

Yes, food can be a major source of comfort. I don't think that there's anything wrong with it if it is done in moderation. Healthy food won't put weight on you unless you eat way too much of it.

And my other suggestion would be to start looking for a new job.

Yes, I agree with sweetngentle. At certain points in a person's life they run into obstacles. The obstacle you are now facing is your work. It is having a cascadingly-detrimental affect on your life. First it made you stressed and that in turn has made you a comfort-eater. So yeh, you are at a point now where you have the excuse to look for a new life... ...A better life.
