Am emotional eater as well, but the other version of yours :)
I loose my appetite when am stressed !
I don't like medication and in your case I thing the matter is you eat a lot when you are stressed or happy but you can solve this problem by controling what you eat!
Try to get salad or rice crackers or any healthy treats..

GOOD LUCK!

Some people eat more when they are depressed.  In this case, antidepressant medication can help.
