emotional eating

i am such an emotional eater. i eat to feel something. i eat because food is pleasurable and its a way to feel good - when i don't feel good at all.

but why can't i exercise to feel good? why can't i eat HEALTHY to feel good? why don't i get an emotional high from doing what I want to do being a great rolemodel.

i made a deal with my husband tonight. i'm not going to share his part of it, but mine is that i will stop using food to deal with my emotions. i will stop using *forbidden* foods as rewards.

i will develop a healthy relationship with food.
