At least you can admit defeat! I always feel so ashamed when I emotionally eat. Kudos to u for being open! 

Would you have been satisfied with one entree? Maybe you could have eaten one, and then waited to see if you wanted another one. Either way, sometimes you just need to eat what you want. I understand. I was on Atkins for one week and then I ate 4 pieces of my cornbread, I could not stop. 

I don't know if you can stop when you're emotionally eating. For me, the sadness ends with the last bite. Then the disappointment in myself begins. At that point, I feel like I'm in more control of my feelings and can turn them around. I don't know why I can't control the feeling that drove me to eat emotionally.
