A lot of times our emotions are tied less to the food themselves and more about how we feel about them. We receive lots of messages about there being "good" and "bad" foods and we can internalize them so that we end up judging and critiquing ourselves.
No. It has nothing to do with guilt or shame for me. It has to do with the direct affect eating junky food has on my mood (it makes me markedly depressed and irritable).
