I have seasonal depression and emotionally eat like crazy during Winter. These are the places I primarily eat at as a poor coping mechanism and why:

>Taco Bell
Reminds me of happy times because I spent about a decade following up FNM with friends by driving through the Bell and unwinding with some vidya or anime

>Jack in the Box
I feel guilty about all the money I've been wasting on junk food, so I get the Late Night Munchie Meal. I convince myself I'm wasting less and feel a little better about it

>Local Chinese buffet
>Schnucks pre-made food and liquor sections
When my JUST reaches 11. I consume 1.5-2x my daily calories when I hit these places and kill a full wine bottle if it was Schnucks.

Notice anything? I don't directly associate any of those places with the negativity itself. I know exactly why I'm there, especially at the buffet, but the surface level association is some kind of positive emotion or a massive dose of dopamine for that short term relief. Places that I directly associate with sadness, despair, or trashiness like Cici's Pizza I avoid no matter what my emotional state unless I get a very strong and very specific craving, which is basically never. If I was a BKfag and had to suffer the indignity of ordering Depression Meals I suspect it would quickly overwrite whatever I used to associate with BK and cause me to avoid it.

I can kinda feel the depression wave come on me like an oncoming storm sometimes so I try to prepare for it. Stews are good, chili is better, that way when I can actually get out of bed I just throw shit in a bowl and heat it up. Either that or just whatever I have that's in a bag, whether it's tortilla chips or shredded cheese.

Well, I used to comfort myself with food, but nowadays I don't eat at all, or very little when I'm depressed. If I do eat, it's usually either comfort food, like pasta, or something really healthy (hoping it will make me feel physically better). Those ads that say depression hurts physically ain't lying.

Make a big batch of something healthy so I don't overeat and workout while it's cooking.

Takeout pizza. When I'm really down my appetite disappears completely, and it's a struggle to force myself to swallow anything solid. A $9-13 meat lovers pizza is calorie dense enough I can make it through the day on one or two slices without getting dizzy, palatable enough I can force it down without any particular risk of puking, and cheap enough that if by the time the weekend rolls by and I just say 'fuck it' and only drink, and throw out the last couple-three slices, I'm not out much. It's not my favorite food, so much as the only food I can tolerate when I'm feeling really bleak and suicidal.

Suffices to say, I eat a lot of pizza.

I usually crave salt and sweetness at the same time, so I would eat stuff smothered in cheese or plates of salty chips, then stuff myself with chocolate or doughnuts. Then I would hate myself even more for eating so much unhealthy food and starve myself as punishment. I eventually get so down from self-hate and hunger I become dead inside again.

stuff that works for me is
>small changes at a time which you still enjoy
>replacing is easier than abstaining
>fill up on nutritious food before eating junk
>front load daily calories we process food better this way and feel less hungry later
>snack on as much fruit as you want or a handful of crackers with natty peanut butter if really hungry but pressed for time
>sip large iced unsweetened non-dairy drinks like water tea or coffee when no decent food is available
>don't leave room for excuses
>exercise 2 days on 1 day off
>no absolute restrictions
Other more specific things like replacing juice or soda with cheap 2 liter seltzers that I've squeezed citrus pulp and all into. Making a point to always have a full bowl of lightly seasoned brusselsprouts broccoli or beans before my meals and leave extra ready for tomorrow so I don't have an excuse. Our hunger is based first on meeting daily calorie minimums then meeting the weight/size of food your body is used to so really fill up on water heavy foods like fruit and veg. You should feel happy when you make improvements even if all you're doing is eating less junk. Eating shit food made me unhappy it was a coping addiction from not facing my needs. Whether it was not occupying my mind with interesting tasks, not self-reflecting towards solutions, avoiding what made me uncomfortable without understanding why it did. I still lack confidence but every sane person feels the same it's why we have routines and standards. When we improve those we make a baseline of confidence. I know what I've learned. I'm not happy with "ok" I want to excel while having fun.
