Emotional Eater on the Loose

I have been eating emotionally for the last couple of days. I know what the stresser is and it can't be "fixed." So, what do I do? I've really been trying not to eat to handle the stress and I know every time I go to the pantry that I'm not hungry. I've been an emotional eater my whole life, hence, the extra 50 pounds I carry around. HELP!! How do you stop the emotional eating? Exercise instead? - Yea, I just love to exercise! :(
