Comforting eating help

I'm a terrible comfort eater. Today I had to say goodbye to my partner for a month and found myself down the shop getting everything I shouldn't have done.
It's been such a bad day for eating and I'm just wondering how other cope with stopping comfort eating?

It's making me feel worse and making me want to eat more :cry:

    I used to be a huge comfort eater (probably still am if I gave myself the chance), but I find that if I keep myself busy and don't sit down, then the distraction will stop me from eating a bunch of crap that I don't need.

    I've tried distracting myself and going out for walks without any money but I still feel unhappy and end up eating when I'm done :(
  • I'm the same hun, and it only takes abit of stress to set me off and I get stuck into a massive family bag of maltesers! Chin up, we all do it, just a case of dusting yaself off and startin again :-)
