That comfort eating is a difficult beastie, (to borrow DB's term), who seems to promise to comfort but instead leaves me feeling bloated & heavier than ever, sickly, & sluggish, & then the emotions take a dive.
I know darn well the comfort food is not any sort of food that supports my health & well-being It's like some illicit drug, this sweet/salty/fatty stuff, triggers endorphins or some such & gives me a little boost, only to let me down again wanting more. or feeling I can't get enough to feel what I once did.
I am still finding I think of wanting something quick for dinner, thinking making something which is also a comfort food, I could prepare quicker, when that simply isn't true.
I can just as easily chop up some carrot, lettuce, cucumber, tomato etcetera, to make a 'rustic' salad in just as much time as pasta, with cheese, & a handful of frozen veg thrown in near the end of cooking. Which is going to provide my body with better nutrition & a better feeling in my body & mind afterward?
I have found it is the salad.
But I still want some cheese - enough to placate the beastie for the moment. I have reduced the amount of cheese I eat during each week.

I was told with my bursitis to keep moving, challenge it a bit, keep moving, challenging the range of movement I had.
If it hurts too much to even try, I would suggest seeing your GP. I'd hate to think you have done some damage which is not bursitis & you are not being treated for the problem it is.
I know it's difficult getting healthcare where you live, but if you could see a physiotherapist, they could show you how to get some movement back into your shoulders. I'd love to go through what I've learned from a physiotherapist, but it's far harder to explain than to have someone show you.
The basic advice to keep moving was the best advice I'd heard in quite a while.
My shoulder had movement had been so limited, I too, could barely wash my own hair, or put some of my clothes on & off again. It seemed in no time at all after I began regularly & often moving my arms up down back forward & sideways, that I could do these things again. I still can't wash my back as entirely as well as I would like.
Now I got to work on my knees & hands where my arthritis has worsened. You guessed it - more movement!
