Like Sophotia I made sure I stuck to things that were LC when I was emotionally eating. I would eat shaved ham or have an omellete or something. For the first few weeks I let myself whatever I wanted (that was on the plan) how ever often and however much I wanted. I recognized that a lot of it was 'emotional' eating. Then after a while an interesting thing happened. I just sort of gradually stopped doing it. It wasn't that I was 'emotionally' cured, but I think because I was able to stuff my face until I was full and yet the scale was still going down (therefore I didn't complete the cycle with guilt) I just sort of stopped doing it. My guess is that because emotionally eating was really no longer eating at my self esteem and causing me stress and guilt and gained weight afterward, that my psychy decided this wasn't really 'working' for it anymore and has mostly given it up. It does rear it's head occasionally, now and then, but really it hardly happens anymore at all.
