Hi, it sounds like you are an emmotional eater. I can relate to this, because my dad is always under alot of stress with his work and his solution is to come home and indulge in comfort foods. I know it is hard to have self restraint. Even just today i made myself feel really sick because just at the end of the day i received a terrible papergrade from this teacher and i came home and i just sat there and ate...I blamed it on my teacher but i know its because i need more control of my life. Its hard when you have family deaths and it can lead to serious issues but you have to keep in mind what those family members would want for you - they would want to see you happy and healthy- If you need any tips feel free to email me, i hope that i can help - NattimArak@aol.com
