I have found that I must be an emotional eater.. I do so well then bam I get upset and all I can think about is food.. then I eat and Im never full.. I hate this.. I know a lot of it contributes to being attack at my job a couple years ago.. so I have high anxiety.. also being in a abusive relationship when I was married and of course.. being physically abused by a step parent... so i know during those times.. food was the only thing I thought would never hurt me... (of course now Im overweight)... ahhhhhhhh I wish there was a magic wand to help.... I have tried reading.. tried going for a ride.. or walk.....

Does anyone have this issue and how do you handle it?...

    Have you tried going to counselling? It sounds like it could really help.
    I'm an emotional eater too, just if I am having a down day I crave junk food as comfort, I try dancing for a bit as a pick me up,if that doesn't work then get out the house so you aren't tempted!!
