I know how it feels to eat due to emotional issues. That is how I gained the weight myself. I am afraid that there is no "cure" for emotional eating. Just control. You would be surprised at the number of people on this board who are fighting unbelievable opstacles in their life. Everyone can lose weight despite lifes twists and turns. You will have to face whatever is getting in your way or else things will never change. You need to sit down and ask yourself which is more important - that cookie in your hand, or you being happy. And I am here to tell you that nothing is better than being happy. Pretend you are all grown up and you are your idle weight - now imagine what you would say to yourself right now...would you say "keep being unhappy" or "that one bag of chips isn't going to change anything"? Or would you say "Today is the day your life changes for ever"? Only you can change yourself. No matter how many times you post messeges on this board, no one here can do the work but you. I wish I could do it for you but I can't! But I can ask you just one question...Is "today the day"?
