Publisher's Synopsis
If you find yourself regularly consuming food when you are not truly hungry, especially unhealthy comfort foods or beyond fullness, then there may be an imbalance in your eating habits. Recent neuroscience research has revealed the significant impact of our early social and emotional environment on forming these imbalanced behaviors. If we do not receive adequate emotional support during our developmental years, we may seek it from external sources such as food. This can make it challenging to change our behavior despite knowing its negative effects because our emotions often dominate our decisions. The good news is that the brain can rewire itself for optimal emotional health. She developed this book after overcoming her struggles with emotional eating. By nurturing ourselves with self-compassion and managing stress more effectively, we can break free from using food as a source of comfort. This will lead to improved health, self-esteem, energy levels, and weight loss.
