cookie dough and emotional eating

uhhhh I’m so stressed about my surgery! I just ate 3 spoonfuls of cookie dough. It made me wonder, “what is emotional eating?” I like cookie dough, and I ate 3 spoonfuls, allbeit, 3 heaping spoonfuls, and I’m feeling stressed, does that mean I’m emotionally eating? When does the line get crossed? I don’t know. I’m so tired too, I think I am more likely to emotionally sleep than eat, yet there are no negative connotations with that. In fact, I think I’ll go take a nap now… zzz
