How to fix this? emotional eater at an extreme!?

okay so lately i have been wondering why i was gaining so much, like i felt like i was eating normal but the weight kept piling on. that's when one day i realized that i am an emotional eater. it doesn't matter if it's happiness or sadness, i eat when i am emotional whether it's good or bad. for example, a few days ago i arranged with my fwb to come over today. so i took a shower, cleaned up the house, etc and then i text him and ask when he's coming over and he says he cant he is at work. i got so upset, angry and mad that i went to the kitchen and ate a piece of pizza, fruit snacks, some chicken and two glasses of chocolate milk. after wards i feel so nasty and mad at myself for eating so much. but then i feel better about the situation that caused me to eat in the first place so it's a win-lose situation. i have tried to diet and exercise but as soon as a problem arises i binge. i try to work out and watch what i eat but these binges are pushing me over the edge. i am 5'2 and if i have a good week and don't have any binges i weigh about 124 but if it's a bad week and i get upset a lot i can balloon up to 127-130 ish. i feel this is getting out of hand. please help!



any advice, tips, suggestions would be greatly appreciated. thank you!How to fix this? emotional eater at an extreme!?
Exercise is FAR more effective to managing stress and depression. Not only do you release endorphins when you workout (those are your "feel good" chemicals), but you also give yourself something to feel good about.



The good thing here is that you realize you're having a problem. This means that you can catch yourself before it happens and switch up your habits. If I'm sad, I like doing cardio...if I'm angry or stressed, weight lifting.
