This week: Emotional Eating!

This Week in Meetings: "Eating Food — or Your Feelings?" 

If you sometimes eat to satisfy emotions instead of hunger, this meeting will help! When we seek comfort or pleasure from eating (as opposed to satisfying physical hunger), we typically crave foods that are loaded with fat and sugar. While eating those so-called "comfort" foods can ease your feelings in the short term, it won't address what's really behind your cravings. And it can be decidedly less than comforting when that emotional eating leads to weight gain, which in turn can trigger negative feelings and even more overeating. In your meeting this week, you will learn how to identify what might drive you to eat besides hunger.
