I agree with you that not all people are emotional eaters. Personally, I am not an emotional eater, but I just LOVE ALL food. Which, I think, is why Atkins works for me.

I think it is really hard to watch people put themselves through the " loose weight, gain weight" struggle. It is sad to watch people do that, but don't feel that you have to be the person to take on their issues, or endure their bad eating behaviors. It is THEIR personal decision. And really...thank god for that. Because I think we all have enough to deal with worrying about our own personal goals and health than to take on the weight loss strife of others.

So, they eat a piece of pizza. When I see that, I just say to myself..."Boy, am I glad that wasn't me!" LOL
