From the calorie king website, sor those that are emotional eaters, like me!:

"Are you an emotional eater?

Feel what you feel and know that it will pass. There is nothing wrong with feeling a negative emotion. Instead of avoiding the discomfort, let yourself feel it, work through it, and then let it go.

Keep a food and exercise diary. Noting when and where you eat, along with how you were feeling at the time, can help you to track any connection you have between feelings and food.

Express yourself. Expressing yourself is an important part of dealing with life's ups and downs. Use a blog, or talk to those who are close to you about how you are feeling and what is going on in your life.

Seek support. You may like to reach out to a counsellor, friend or family member, or find a support group in your area. The CalorieKing.com.au forums also offer a place to talk to others who may have similar eating behaviours.

Exercise is a great way to deal with stress. Taking a long walk, going for a jog, cycle or swim, or playing sport with friends is a great way to improve your overall wellbeing. A relaxing form of exercise, such as yoga or tai chi, can help to further develop a sense of emotional calm in your life.

Find new ways of dealing with problems. What can you do instead of turning to food? Go for a walk, deep breathe, call a friend, take a bubble bath... anything that will break the connection you have established between feelings of discomfort and eating. Establish a new connection that is constructive and has nothing to do with food."
