Coming to Terms with Emotional Eating

I have finally been working with a counselor for a few months and am on something now that is helping fight the depression and anxiety. I have learned in the last few weeks that I eat "bad" foods when I get upset and feel helpless.

I will be honest. I am a mother of 3 children: 14, 9, and 2. Most of my binge eating moments are after arguements with my older two children. I know that it is not good for me but in the moment I feel I need it to help feel better. I feel almost addicted. I hate using that word. I want to get it under control, but I don't know how.

I have gotten a little better. It used to be anytime I felt down or upset. Now it is only after arguments. I have managed to lose 15 pounds but is has taken me a year to do it!

If anyone has been through this and has any suggestions for gaining control, I would love to hear them. Thanks so much.
