I used to be an emotional eater also, but for me I just had to go cold turkey, do other things, like listen to music or take out my stress/frustration in my workout. At the end of a Turbo Fire workout Chalene Johnson says something to the fact that a good workout makes you forget about whatever was upsetting you before you started. Sometimes when I leave work, I crank up the music in my car and sing at the top of my lungs, don't care who sees or hears me, by the time I get home I do feel better, fortunately is a short commute. You just have to find different ways to deal with frustrations.

Also, know this will not happen overnight and if you do "cave", don't get too down on yourself, just know you will have to try harder next time.

Good luck!!!

Emotional eating is a coping mechanism, similar to addicts turning to drugs and alcohol. To avoid overeating, you have to change how you cope with stress. Try talking to a friend about it or going for a walk or writing in a journal. When I get pissed, I turn on a kickboxing workout and go at it. Then there are other times, I just go to sleep. I don't advise that but hey, whatever works.

I am too! When I'm sad I eat, when I'm mad I eat, when I'm happy I eat! This is a very big problem for me! But I'm learning that taking a walk run or doing some kind of physical activity helps a lot! That way it takes my mind off food and I make better choices! It don't work all the time but my progress has gotten better!
