Song of Solomon 2:5
"Stay me with flagons, comfort me with apples: for I am sick of
love."
When looking for comfort
food, most of us don’t reach for an apple. Apple pie, apple cake—yes, and a
plain apple sounds healthy, but not very comforting.
Sweets, especially
chocolate, are more likely to comfort us when we’ve had a rough time. Salty
snacks, mashed potatoes with gravy, even macaroni and cheese are other foods we
are likely to reach for.
Unfortunately these foods
also sabotage our diets. We feel bad enough with our emotional turmoil—we won’t
want to add gaining weight to our problems. So we might want to stick with that plain
apple, after all.
