Lynnie - It is very nice to have someone as supportive as your husband to prevent you from getting off plan. You are very lucky
I know that many women suffer from emotional eating.. and to some extent men do too. For me, whenever I start to feel upset and wanting something like ice cream to make me feel better.. I have to remind myself how worse I will feel after I eat it.. its hard to do, but eventually you will train yourself to not eat based on emotions.
But on the flip side.. I think we also have to be careful to not let our guilt go too far. It is ok to have a treat now and then! However, sometimes I find myself feeling fat or guilty for letting myself have that treat.
So its an ongoing battle for me.. and I am sure for others.. to balance our emotional eating and not feeling guilty all the time.
