Stress eating

I lost my job and few weeks ago, hubby said something hurtful since then I've been eating a lot of chocolate. I know it's bad for me but I am so depressed and that doesn't help.

I totally relate to this as I have binge eating disorder, and it’s such an easy coping mechanism and if you’d like to talk about it I’m here for you

it's just your way of coping with hurt..... sometimes we feed our feelings in various ways...and one of them can be with sweets. Have you confronted your husband on his hurtful comment....and if it's not worth talking to him about it.....than if he says something again....address it at that time....your feelings matter. And as far as loosing the job....I'm sorry that happened.... but you can always do temp agency's or call centers depending on your income needs.... don't despair and don't beat yourself up... once you have gotten past the hurt a bit....you'll pick yourself back up then.
