Four emotions account for a majority of emotional overeating:

Hurt,
Angry,
Lonely or
Tired.

If you are feeling anything other than hunger, food won't fix it. Ask yourself what will really make you feel better and then do that.
That's really great. We should all have a little craft project to make a H.A.L.T. magnet for the fridge!
