I emotional eat when I am happy. When I am elated, it just feels like I have to eat to celebrated my being elated. I feel like I just couldn't contain it in myself alone that there has to be an outward manifestation other than the facial expressions, and that is eating. On the other hand, when I am sad, I stray from eating. I really don't feel like doing so. There was once a time during which I really couldn't eat. It lasted long that actually got thin far than I initially was.
