I know it's hard. I have a 20-yr-old who tried to commit suicide a few weeks ago, so I am in total sympathy with most all of your issues at home. When things get bad/stressful for me, I take some deep, slow breaths-then I pray. Then I remind myself that emotional eating never actually solved any problem, it is just a quick fix that is guaranteed to make you sorry later.

When none of that works, i grab a SMALL piece of an Atkins bar-chocolate decadence is my favorite. If that isn't enough, I immediately eat a small piece of cheese or drink a small glass of tomato juice to take away the sweet cravings.

I know you're close to the end of your rope. Tie a knot in the end and hang on the best way you can. Being thin is 10 times better than eating oneself out of one's clothing and into a terrible self-image!

Love and hugs-
