Emotional eaters, hell yeah, I can relate to that. So much easier said than done but just stop, walk away, go for a walk, do something anything but eat. Like all addictions, it's a downward spiral, you feel bad, you eat, you temporarily feel better so you keep eating, you feel sick, ashamed, guilty, etc. So you eat more to make yourself feel better. And, unlike addictions to drugs or alcohol, you cannot avoid food, you can't get it out of your house. You have to eat in order to live. Controlling it is the hard part. I have it under control sometimes, sometimes not. But, at least I've gotten to the point, finally, of being able to recognize it before it gets too out of hand, at least most of the time.

One thing I've learned is to find something that makes you feel good that has NOTHING to do with food. And you have to do this when you're not in the cycle of the emotional eating. That way, you have something to use as a tool to help get you past it.

Good luck to you! You'll be ok

anyone else dealing with it?

what people don't understand is emotional eaters do not eat cause they are hungry,they eat because they are sad,upset,mad,bored etc.its hard to change that process but i sure am trying.

oh yeah!
Found some good books but they didn't solve it.
