Hello! Alas, I tend to be an emotional eater, too. That is, when I am upset, I look for comfort foods (which usually end up being fattening ones.) How to help? Well, I can sometimes distract myself by getting busy with other things. Like, when I'm typing at the computer my hands are not free to stuff my face.

Also, it helps to talk out our problems. Are you in therapy?

Exercise. (I don't like that word either.) But something like going for a walk can get us away from food (no carrying any along), plus help with additional pounds.

I hope that's a start anyway!
