When we're are under stress and depression, that is when you don't want to do anything. You just want to be left alone and do nothing and that is the danger zone for food cravings. What helped me, is when i'm stressed and emotional, i keep my mind and body occupied. For example go out for a walk/run, go dancing, kick boxing. Sometimes I do my favorite past time activity, which is bead crafting.
I know what it's like. I also exercise, but tend to over-snack, and it offsets everything. People will tell you not to buy and keep fattening snacks lying around the house. That won't do any good as you'll just end up taking a quick hike to the neighborhood deli mart. You have to just practice gradual self-control, or learn to snack on fruits and vegetables.
