Thanks for sharing!  I guess emotional eating and food addiction  is very different from BED. I had a close friend with the disorder who ended up gaining a huge amount of weight from it as she binged  (always on the same foods) at least 2 times a day during a very rough time in her life and I think she eventually just transitioned to eating non stop for comfort. We aren't friends anymore because she is now an Obese "full time stay at home mommy" who was too lazy to get fit or get some fucking therapy.  Thanks for sharing your experience  - I'm sorry you go through that. I know how you feel. Hang in there!
