Publisher's Synopsis
Eating comfort food when things get tough - also known as emotional eating or stress eating - is not a solution to life's challenges. It only works temporarily. Worse, it causes longer-term distress if it brings about weight gain. The author of this book writes from a personal and professional perspective, having struggled for years with weight control, with every kind of diet, and with the inevitable disappointment that always followed. But research and dedicated persistence finally paid off. She discovered the missing keys to permanent, effective, and comfortable weight control: our emotional drives and influences. This discovery so obviously applies to our food choices. Recognizing why we do certain things, understanding why we choose foods that are harmful, developing healthy alternatives, and creating great eating habits - are the foundations of this life-changing book on real weight control and the launch of a much healthier lifestyle.
