Emotional Eater!

I try and replace food with water when I'm sad or stressed, or eat a healthy snack instead. Working out always makes me feel better and clears my head so I can start to feel better. Ask friends to go for a walk or do something to entertain yourself so you don't focus on food?
Dealing with the situation that is stressing you out and/or making you sad helps me too so I don't dwell on it and can carry on with my day.
Hope this helps a bit.. good luck to you

i try not to bring stuff home that I like to have when I'm feeling like that and i try eating healthier stuff like fruits instead.

I was and I guess still am...I'm working on breaking it...I find it easy if I keep fruit out in the open and with in easy reach, it's easy to grab and go. Working out always helps me too. Even if it's just running in place, do something for ten mins and wait and see if you are still stressed or wanting the snack. Usually cravings pass within ten mins when you have your mind focused on something else.

I tell myself over and over that it's ok to feel sad and stressed out and that food will only make me feel good temporarily. And then I feel worse after eating junk!
I've been dealing with this today. Bad, bad day. I would really have liked to have ordered pizza and made brownies but instead I saved enough calories to get nice and full for dinner and also enough to have a sweet treat within my calories. I'm determined to figure out what works for me as far as weight loss and going off the rails with pizza and brownies won't help. Like I said, the most important thing for me to keep in mind is that it's ok to feel sad sometimes. It won't kill me. It's unpleasant, but it won't kill me.

I am too! mostly mine is when i get angry, sometimes when im sad. I know how you feel! it seems like a hopeless cycle.
i try to forget about it
