Do you binge or overeat when you're feeling an uncomfortable emotion? Eating will help you to escape it, numb it, or to feel better. But of course, not without consequence.

 

So I want to encourage you to commit to feeling those emotions without eating. If you've tried to but haven't succeeded, then listen to this episode. I'm going to help you to honor your commitment and actually do it. Listen in to find out how.
