If you tend to overeat because you're stressed, overworked, or depressed, instead of turning towards food 
to cope with your problems or fears, get to the root of your feelings. Satiating your soul with food is only a temporary fix, and after you binge on comforting foods, those emotions will still be with you. So ask yourself what you need in order to make your life (or that particular moment) better. Talk to a friend, your boss, make an appointment with a therapist, or write in a journal. Not only will you feel more relieved emotionally, but physically you won't feel bloated or cranky from inhaling half a package or Oreos.

I never really overate because of emotions; mostly I'd overeat when I was bored. But I do keep a journal and I write down how I'm feeling...it definitely helps keep me from blowing up and yelling at people.
