i am also the same! bad day? better have something tasty to make me feel better. something good happen? oooh...better have a nice meal/treat to celebratethe time i've best been able to conquer the emotional eating is when i was training to do a fun run. sounds kinda silly now but if i didn't eat well during the day then i felt awful going for a run after work & just had no energy for it. it got me to a place where i really viewed food as fuel for my body & i found myself eating what i needed to get me through the day & the run. so i ended up eating really well. i noticed that when i was going to see a personal trainer that it had the same affect & that was exactly the same way he viewed food - not as a treat/something yummy to make you feel better etc but he ate exactly what his body needed.
so...i think for me the secret is probably exercising because it gets me in a better headspace for eating but now i just need to get off my bum & actually do something!![]()
