Emotions Get in the Way

I am an emotional eater.  I eat when I am depressed or sad, especially.  Something happened this morning- or should I say-- I found out this morning about something that would normally make me run and drown my heartache on the shoulders of Ben and Jerry.

I was sad and hurt and depressed about this and I didn't stuff my sorrow with donuts or chocolate.

That in itself is progress for me.
