So, I woke up in the middle of the night with a bad dream and proceeded to go to the kitchen and eat 2oz. of tortilla chips for comfort. This emotional eating has got to stop...but how?

One way could be to substitute something else in place of food. Your go-to comfort. Our empty places have to be filled with something- I am striving to fill my empty places with God instead of a cookie or cupcake. Perhaps have something on the bedside table such as a devotional book with words of comfort that you could read and meditate on to lull you back to sleep. I think most of us do have emotional eating- be it good or bad emotions. Sometimes I don't even know if mine is emotional-- it is just mindless eating with no real thought to it-- and then I go whoops I did it again. At least you stopped with 2 oz-- that is a plus!

Thank you! What a wonderful idea. I have many devotionals so I am picking a few to grab when I feel those late night munchies coming on. You're right, whether it be emotional or mindless eating, I really need to turn to God to fill that void.
