I love to feel food in my mouth, and I think this may be part of why I seem to over eat.

I have two questions:

Does anyone else have this problem, or do you think my suspicions are incorrect here?

If this IS a problem you've noticed in yourself and solved, what did you do to correct the behavior?

Currently rubbing the hell out of a worry stone and it's not stopping me from wanting to use the salt on my pretzels to scratch my tongue.

Thanks in advance. :)

I have the same stim but instead of the feeling of the food, it's the taste of the food that I like.

Yeah, I'm one fat f**k because of something broadly similar.

I might've.
Because I've blown my savings over it repeatedly for years.

I just lucked out on not being visibly fat or gaining weight due to genetics.


And yes, it IS because I don't know how to deal with stressors and regulate myself in another way and other stims seems to be not enough.
Not merely because I 'like' to eat or liking food at all, nor having constant thoughts and sensations of food/eating/hunger.
