Do you eat when you are upset?

[nativetxn]

This shuttle disaster has broken my heart. I'm very upset about this Today I'm having more trouble than I've ever had staying away from my comfort foods. I've been successful so far...I'm trying hard...but I'm really upset.

It doesn't help that all of my family lives in East Texas, they keep calling with news that isn't pleasant. Debris passed over our houses in Sabine County, Texas, some has fallen in the water supplies and the water will be shut off in some areas. Body parts found 11 miles from my houses and property It's just sad and upsetting and it makes me want to buy a bag of potato chips and stuff myself, or chocolate, what I wouldn't give for some dark chocolate right now.

Okay, *DEEP CLEANSING BREATH*...I'm alright, I can do this. I'm okay.

Are you okay? {{{HUGS}}} and encouragement to any WISH buddies feeling the same way I feel today.

Kath,

Just hang on...like all of us...
I am wanting some comfort food right now, too.
It is all too sad, and I tend to eat when I am sad or depressed.
I have had a few chips, and a few other things. But, you know, we will get through this.

I know it is tough, it is always hard when bad things happen.
Let's get through this together!

Yes.
This has been an extremely difficult week with very serious layoff scares, and now the space shuttle. I feel as though I have been eating junk 24/7

A very sad day indeed. Yep, I eat when I'm stressed but then I also eat when the stress is over and when I'm happy too so go figure.

I have been picking all day, but I have stuck to the low carbs...did tomatoes and cheese cubes in Italian dressing and have been picking on it all day....It has been very hard

I definitely tend to eat when emotions are high. I try to do like glo - make sure I am eating legal. A cup of good hot herbal tea with a pkt of splenda ... often is all I need.
