eating your emotions or overeating & getting emotional

So I know that I am an emotional eater. Happy, sad, bored, angry, frustrated, celebrating and on and on... but when I am eating the way I should, I feel like I step off the emotional roller coaster. So my question is this:
Do any of you think that food can trigger the emotions too? I was thinking of the sugar highs and the crashes, the energy and then the irritation when the energy is gone, the guilt and shame from overeating... doesn't eating unhealthy PUT us all on an emotional rollercoaster too??

Oh, for sure!!! I find that especially true for when I overload on sweets...if I'm really stressed out & I binge out on super sweet things, I get such a sugar rush that my mind starts racing...and then when the crash follows thereafter, I feel depressed.
I didn't reallly think of it that way before now, thanks for the insight!!! I think it'll help me stay away from binging on it
