That could have been written by me. Its hard to explain emotional eating to someone who doesnt understand or go through it themselves. I can completely sympathize with how you feel. we look to food for comfort and then feel even worse after we do it. And for me, i continue that, I eat because i feel stressed, and I feel stressed because of eating the way i shouldnt be. I went through the same thing with my father when he was diagnosed with cancer. I did the same thing, i put on this strong persona, to try to keep all the others uplifted, and then i'd go home and crash, and let it all out, and eat,eat, eat. Listen, you are NOT alone, and many of us relate to exactly what you have said. I will keep you and your family in my prayers. Do not put yourself on a guilt trip, we are not perfect. take each meal one at a time. we are here for you.
