Emotional Eater!

Options
I've been working on my weight loss goals for roughly a year. I go to Orange Theory Fitness 4-5 days per week and myfitnesspal has become one of my besties! I've had good success, loosing almost 70 pounds I'm just over a year! That being said, I still find myself derailing when my emotions swing... anyone else have this problem? What had helped you get through this?!?
