Comfort food is usually associated with two things – good memories and calorie-rich food. The fear in taking in so much comfort food has nothing to do of course with the warm memories of childhood days but with those food that brings instant gratification to the body because of its richness in texture, flavor, and calories. To my mind however, indulging one’s self with comfort food once in a while is not a bad thing. In fact, it can be a means to gaining positive feelings at a time when it is most needed.
