I was a feeder at one point when dieting, obsessed with cook books, making cookies and what-not for my boyfriend... but you know what? I've stopped. It's not actually fair on them. Yes - the stuff tastes good - but imagine if someone was feeding YOU all the time... would you like it in the same way? Probably not. Maybe by doing this sort of thing, especially at home - you are projecting that nurturing mother image - the one that in some cases made you the way you are (I know my stepmum certainly liked to treat us with 'nice things' all the time which greatly set off my weight problems).
I noticed that after a while my 'nurturing feeding' side was having a slight effect on my boyfriend's waistline... He started to become a little bit more unhappy with himself. Almost started a spiral of over-eating in him... but then I stopped. And he cut back, and he's stable again.
So; a word of caution. Don't feed/do onto others if it's something you don't want done to you. Food doesn't equal love... Remember that.
