I think that the sole act of acknowledging that I'm feeling SOMETHING and I DON"T know what to do can be empowering. It allows me to start working on the real issue rather than doing something to avoid the issue. Thanks so much for your thoughtful comment. Kathy,

What I do now when I'm angry and want to eat, is I sit down and formulate a plan to rresolve the issue. I'm not ususally very good at quick comebacks or any kind of rapid response. But if I sit down shortly after the incident and write out a plan or just think through a plan, I feel much more empowered and in control. And I don't have to eat at them, thank goodness! My next challenge is following through with the plans, especially those long term ones.... I found that I used to ALWAYS eat my emotions, especially anger.
