I like The Power of Now, by Eckhart Tolle.

And 'Self-Help for your Nerves' by Dr Claire Weekes.

Please do go easy on yourself, dear Have Hope! Lasting changes happen slowly...

If you can just improve your ability to forgive yourself for the emotional eating by a teeny, tiny amount, that itself would be a huge achievement!
Thank you so much, @Purple,Violet,Blue! You are a true gem!

I will forgive myself..... I knew I would fall down a few times while attempting this recovery on my own. I do need to go easy on myself. I will start over, beginning today.

And I love the Power of Now.... what a great book!!!! I believe I have it somewhere in my collection. Maybe I'll dig it up.

Thank you for the golden suggestions.
