Emotional Eating

After 30 years of trying to lose weight I am finally on the right track. I felt defeated and just about had given up knowing my health had been compromised, shortening my life.  A friend suggested counseling.  I always knew it was the mental part that kept me from succeeding but I didn't know how to get help.

Most of us eat for comfort but what are we comforting?
Mine was my inner child.  Emotionally abused as a child I used junk food as my comfort.
You can't deal with emotional eating until you find out WHY you emotionally eat.  Most of us don't want to know why.  It is painful finding out.  But it was worth the journey.
