Welcome!
Something that I found super helpful was to check out the emotional eating thread and to read back YEARS of discussion. It really helped me feel not alone, even though there are many people who are no longer literally on the site today to talk to, their thoughts and efforts from the past gave me a sense of community, good ideas, and support.
Everyone is different, but if it helps you to know, I’ve been eating this way 3.5 years. The combination of Stable blood sugar through low carb eating and the high level of satiation in eating high fat gave me space to look at my emotional eating and the needs that were not getting met in my life. It also, over time, gave me the space to have a choice in how I responded to stress (not taking eating away, but adding other responses to my toolkit so that eating wasn’t the only one that helped.)
Good luck to you on this journey.
