I lot of my problem is trying to figure out how to deal with emotional eating also.
It sounds like you would do well if you had a buddy locally doing this also. Have any friends willing to lose weight via IP? Perhaps you could develop your own IP club and hold each accountable and do the weigh ins together as well as place alternative orders together (save on S&H).
Re the emotional issues, I think most of us on this site have emotional issues with food, hence the need for IP. That's where this site comes in - we help each other be strong and focused.
Any one of us could say we're having a bad day and go off program but we're fighting that, sometimes moment by moment, to stay on program. Some days are incredibly tough.
However, ultimately, you need to want to lose weight and become healthier for this to work, so I hope this helps.
