I feel your stress! :-) I tend to eat when I get stressed as well, and the only thing that worked for me is to portion myself. Where I used to grab the entire bag of chips, I'll pour some in a small bowl...or instead of the whole plate of cookies, I put one or two on a plate...you get the idea. You have to have some will power so as to keep going back to that bag or plate, but it's much easier to control if you portion it from the beginning. Best of luck!
