Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more: it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

FEEDING THE HUNGRY HEART
Question Of The Week 10-22-12
Are you and emotional eater?
But those mashed potatoes with creamy butter look so good!
Happy, I eat~! otherwise I'm an emotional Starver. If I get emotional, my need for food shuts down and its hard to think about food at all.. Food just doesnt " Fix It" for me.
Nope not really, the opposite. Well I mean if I'm down or stressed I eat less, it's when life is ticking along nicely I eat too much. The best way for me to lose a few pounds is for something tragic to happen.
Lynn -- I am surprised believing you have tremendous resolve. What do you feed your emotions with...sugar? chocolate?
Sonny -- My sister is a emotional starver. I however eat when I am happy and eat when I am sad.
LL Cool Joe -- Doesn't sound like a very good diet plan.
Cliff -- Do you happen to have any chocolate Redi-whip? Our Walmart doesn't have any and I need some for my next emotional crisis. Using food to express love...for FOOD.
I am an avoidance eater. when I don't want to do something or think about something I really need to do or think about, I eat instead. avoid, avoid, avoid, avoid, in goes the comfort foods
I get that way with chocolate, espresso, bread and wine...but nothing else can tempt me. These things do satisfy me emotionally, so they're hard to turn down.
Every time I have a close call n am so glad to still be alive I need chocolate ice cream- More like a celebratory Affirmation- "I'm Alive!" Occasionally I'll eat only chocolate things for an entire day... I think it's cravings, not emotional really. I don't eat as a response to stress- I'm more likely not to eat when upset.
But I like my mashed with homemade turkey gravy better! n Cranberry sauce. Almost time for that again-
Like lots of your other readers Annie - I eat here there and everywhere for no reason at all. If I'm on my own and busy I eat anything at hand thats raw - can't be bothered to cook - and that will definitely include nuts, potato chips and chocolate. Then when I think about what I've done I get the guilts - 'cose most of those are 'fattening' Take care Cathy
Until I was about 60, I ate only when I was hungry and I stopped as soon as the hunger was satisfied. Now, I am sad to say, my mouth is often hungry when my belly is not. And I LOVE mashed potatoes!!
Loved ALL of these comments. Who knew what food does to each one of us? I will be back to comment further in a couple of weeks and also to catch up on your posts.

Maybe that's emotional lack of eating?
I read it. I got stuck on #4, using food to express love.
Is aerosol whip cream considered food?

Bread and cookies. My demise when I am feeling blue.
Oh yes....sugar is my emotional cure.

I eat less when I'm stressed. Not even my favorites, bread, pasta and rice, can tempt me when I'm really down.
I'm not an emotional eater, but I like "comfort food," if that makes any sense. (And being partly Irish, I never met a potato I didn't like.)
YES!

Hmmm....sometimes I must say I do especially when it is near my period I alwsays craved for chocolate ;)
Oops,time for a bar heheheheh....so do you reckon I am emotional eater?

How does it work - I eat what i love, i try to cook what i feel - all emotions, but is that what you mean?
Until I was about 60, I ate only when I was hungry and I stopped as soon as the hunger was satisfied. Now, I am sad to say, my mouth is often hungry when my belly is not. And I LOVE mashed potatoes!!
Usually just wanting something like Chinese food or yes, chocolate.

I don't think I'm an emotional eater, but I do sometimes go on binges which I later thoroughly regret. I'm trying to lose 5 pounds right now.
