If there was ever such a thing as emotional eating, i could be the postergirl for it. I have been through a rough time in the last couple of months and have gained about 6 lbs. I have become very conscoius of the fact that food is my friend and i can def. depend on it. THe problem is, i know i can depend on watching the scale continue to rise if i don't get a handle on it. I have become so aware of the next time to eat, and even get nervous, knowing i will let food win again. I dont want to QUIT eating, just quit thinking about food as an escape and comfort that i am not feeling otherwise. Ugh, thought i was rid of this plague but it proves itself capable of resurfacing when loneliness and chaos resurfaces in my life! HELP!!

I use to use food to deal with emotions too. You are right to try to get it under control early. Try keeping your mind or hands busy (that was somewhat successful for me)... file your nails, work a crossword puzzle, call a friend, come here to this site and read the boards and write. This is a great site to help you get past some of those emotional binges. Good luck to you, I hope things settle down for you.

I am an emotional eater too. It's sooo hard to control those urges when you want to just eat something. A couple things which have helped me is to write in the FS journal ESPECIALLY when I have the urge to eat when I'm not supposed to, and to make some hot tea. I have found that once I drink the cup of tea, my appetite is gone. Good luck!

Food was and is my friend. But just like the friend who convinces you to get into trouble or do bad things and will bail on you to save themselves...is the junk food. I learned through my changes with SB that food is still very much my friend. I just choose the food friends now that I enjoy the flavor and that doesn't hurt me. you know, like the friend that really does love you, that will have a girlie night and paint toe nails and watch a chick flick. Food can still be your friend, just chose your friends wisely! ;)
