Hi Lauri,
I'm sorry to hear about all you've been going through this week. I caught myself seriously emotionally eating this week, and during the process of overeating I realized I was emotionally eating (I usually overeat and don't think about it.). Then, I thought about what was going on to make me feel the way I felt, and I kinna used the fact that I was overeating as an indication that I needed to give myself some attention. I still overate but it wasn't nearly as big of a binge as I normally have....I think it was mainly b/c I didn't make myself feel guilty for slipping up because I realized I was just trying to help myself in the only way I knew how, eating. I just need to change how I take care of myself.

So be easy on yourself, you're going through a lot right now. Maybe you can see the start of a binge as a bell/wake up call to do something sweet for yourself. I agree with an earlier post, take a long bubble bath and find a good fiction book to take you to lala land!

Hope things get better for you soon.
