I completely understand the emotional eating and stubborness. Last night, after having a disappointing day at work, I made myself a nice LC meal because I was hungry. Afterwards, I just felt so empty, like nothing could fill me up. And then, I started to eat and eat and eat. Anything I could get my hands on. Before I knew it, I had done quite a bit of damage and went to bed with a bloated tummy and feeling miserable. Before I fell asleep, I was able to recognize it as emotional eating. Hence the bottomless pit that I felt was my stomach. My stomach wasn't calling out for food as I had just eaten, but my emotions were. "Soothe me," they said. I am at a place now where I can say enough is enough. I am back on track and feeling really positive about it. I am making plans to soothe my emotions in other ways besides putting food in my mouth. I'm really stubborn, and I've had a hard time accepting that I can't eat carbs, can't eat like others can. But it's time to accept that and channel my stubborness in a more healthy direction. I can totally relate to you, and I'm rooting for you as well as myself.
