Oh yea for sure. It all stems from some type of emotion, I'm sure. When I engage in my eating disordered activities, even while I may not know the cause, it's related to an emotion. A big problem I have is that I struggle to know what an emotion is and so while I may be doing something detremental to my health, it's hard to see that it is caused by emotions or events that trigger emotions. I also struggle to know how to define an emotion. But, I think reactions such as eating disordered activities totally have to do with emotions.

Okay, not sure any of that made sense by the end and I think I kind of talked in circles, but I do think, yes, emotional eating fits here for sure.

You're doing great though to be able to get a handle on it. Keep up the good work, I know it's hard!
