You should be careful about making your self promises, especially when
you are still dealing with a situation that you find stressful. If you
do get overwhelmed by stress and give in to an S then you will get the
bad feelings of breaking the diet and also of breaking your promise. 

In my opinion you would be better off to promise yourself to try and
deal with the things that trigger your emotional eating before it
happens instead of trying to hold back the responses to those
triggers. 

Help your willpower instead of giving it challenges.
