“Gluttony is an emotional escape, a sign something is eating us.”
Peter De Vries
I like this quote because it rings so true… Tonight, I think I am taking a step in the right direction of “killing my fat girl.” With everything going on in my life, I need to find a better balance. While I thrive and succeed on the online world, I am struggling in the real world, more specifically with my hubby… I won’t go into details in case he actually ever reads this, but at this moment I just feel like I want to curl up in a ball with a jar of peanut butter and the bag of chocolate chips I have hidden, with a side of graham crackers, oh, and a glass of milk! LOL, now that I write that out I already feel better and realize how absolutely sick that would make me!!! What was I thinking?!?! How destructive would that be, right? My fat girl would be doing cartwheels, then puke from over exertion!
Ugh, I’m just frustrated and don’t know how to communicate with him to let him know I need more help from him, because in his mind he feels like he already does enough… it’s sometimes easier just to not talk to him at all so we can avoid a fight. Not healthy, I know. BUT, on the positive side, I realized this before I found myself in the pantry. It was the quote that popped into my mind and made me realize yes, something is eating at me, but I don’t need to eat back at it. Instead, I chose to write it out. So fat girl, you can suck it! 
Wow! I’m sorry you are feeling so frusterated but sharing this story gives me much hope. I keep feeling like I’m doomed because of the emotional eating stuff. But if you can be in fantastic shape even with these struggles from time to time maybe I can get there eventually.
Thanks Larie
You aren’t alone, and you aren’t doomed… you are taking steps in the right direction, just have to learn how to understand what is going on with your emotional eater. I know I am still working on mine, but see light at the end of the tunnel 
Hang in there!
