If you’ve never done the emotional-eating thing, raise your hand. Not the hand holding the Twinkie, the other hand…
It’s a little foreign to me, but I think there is a segment of society that doesn’t turn to food when upset. I didn’t think such a creature existed. For years I thought that people who get upset and don’t eat were like werewolves or vampires or even tooth fairies. But sometimes I actually meet one of these elusive creatures. Someone says, “I’m too upset! I can’t eat a thing!,” and I do a doubletake. I fight back the urge to hold up a mirror and see if they have a reflection. Who knows? Maybe vampires are real, too.
