Excerpts from "The Seven Secrets of Slim People" by Vikki Hanson,(MSW) and Shawn Goodman.
Secret #7
Honor your feelings; don't bury them under food
If you have ever eaten for emotional reasons, eating has sustained you and helped you survive and cope with life's stresses and crises.
If you're bored, you need stimulation, not cheesecake. If you're sad, you need to grieve, not to eat pizza.
