So delighted you wrote.  You are not alone.  Many people go to food as a way to cope with underlying emotional issues.  Letting go of emotional eating takes time.  Awareness is key.  You could begin by writing down your food emotional connection.  There are self-help programs such as Overeaters Anonymous where those who struggle meet and support one another.  You could also seek out an eating disorder therapist in your area for guidance.
