Interesting thread!

There's the chemical aspect of emotional eating. The fact that high carb food releases seritonin, so you really get a temporary high.

In terms of the emotion of it, it seems like it's different for everyone. I don't really relate to the feeling comforted or in control aspect of emotional eating, because I feel very out of control when I binge.
The feeling I get with emotional eating is almost like...it's to punish myself. Does any one relate to that feeling?
