I'm just getting out of that habit myself. Emotional eating can be replaced with something else. I remember a day I ate 8 full packs of kinder buenos (chocolate bars) in one sitting because I was feeling crappy. Then ate a full cake on top of that. I am re-training my brain, now when I feel like doing that I have a lovely hot bath and just relax until the cravings pass. Sometimes the cravings don't pass and I'll slip up but not to the extent I used to so try your best, see what works for you 
Don't beat yourself up over one bad day.

Me too I got home from work and started eating everything in sight or not so much in site I don’t know what is wrong I was doing okay other than eating out yesterday but I was going to get back on it today. Ahh I want more to eat no more tomorrow I have to go on a popcorn run. So I eat that instead of the donut I bought at the store ohh well it might just be a bad eating week sigh 
:eek:
:eek:
Popcorn is actually healthy without all the added stuff as winslow mentioned so don't feel too bad. I'd suggest writing down everything you eat, I do that. It definitely helps, it holds accountability. Make a fresh start, a clean slate and don't have lots of high calorie foods in the house, make sure you eat enough though and to get your nutrients. I hope today proves to be a better day for you.
I did great today food-wise and reached my goal of 5 fruit and veg. Ate very healthily, had a dinner of a turkey stir fry, it was beyond yum. It is amazing how good we can make healthy food tasty. Definitely sticking to this diet

On the plus side though, I drank 5 mugs of blackcurrant and echinacea herbal tea and about half a litre of water. No coffee today

While we're at it about tea, I've been drinking tea everyday for many years, although Not for the health benefit. Instead it's mostly because drinking tea always calms me. Whenever I drink tea, I usually fantasize about residing at a zen-monastery. A fantasy where I have achieved absolute mental serenity from meditating. Since I do daily meditation, that fantasy is partially Reality to me. In other words, I don't reside at a monastery but I can still work at achieving serenity. Progress has been made.
