I think of it this way, when I realise I am reacting to a bad situation by craving a food, I think if I craved a shot of cocaine I would thinnk i was crazy!!!! although a different substance it is the same addiction, we use food to not feel and bury emotions. It is hard to just feel the first few times. I used to stop myself from crying, but I have now realised we are made to cry because crying is the release and when we stop ourselves from doing that natural thing we end up finding some other way of releasing feelings, i.e. eating. It is not a weakness it is a natural release, also just saying exactly hoe I feel, not expecting a solution but it is better out than stuck in my head :}
