You are meant to have the option to comfort yourself with food. You are not a robot eating battery pellets for energy. Food is fuel and nutrition, but it is also allowed to be comforting and grounding. And eating food to comfort and fill you up or to connect with others is a nonissue when you’re not in a reactive binge/repent cycle. When you are actually feeding yourself and trusting your body, and your body actually trusts that it is being fed, comfort eating can just be a part of a very normal relationship with food.
