Elf Sternberg

Wow! Justification, justification, justification. Having depressing and bad situations in your life does not JUSTIFY making bad choices. Once can appreciate that bad choices might be made more often, but then again in those situations you must be more vigilant against making them as well.

But the worst in these responses was trying to claim that making bad food choices is a justification for making you feel better…as though changing your thoughts about what makes you feel good about food isn't the better choice.

You're making excuses for not having to make the hard choices and the big changes in life in your generalized responses. And you refused to acknowledge in your specific responses that Elf already allowed that the food choices she was eating were an "emergency buy" on the way out the door, for example, and that he wasn't eating much better.
