Hallelujah!  The TODAY SHOW just had RUBY (the woman who weighed 700 lbs) talking about her set back from losing weight.  I am so happy that she is out there telling the world about this problem.  You don’t have to be 700 lbs to be an emotional eater.

Emotional eating stems from  trauma, self esteem issues, and anxiety to name a few.  I believe it is memories both in the brain and body that stays with us until we are ready to let go and more forward.  80% of the people in this country are now dealing with emotional eating.  When times are bad, people look for comfort, immediate gratification, and security.  The easiest to turn to is FOOD.  We are programmed by the media to see how much pleasure you can have from it.  That is one of the reason our children are overweight.  They too are becoming emotional eaters.

Yes, you can eat healthy but as she said “she wasn’t addressing the emotional issues”! I once weighed over 425lbs.   I lost 168 lbs but it is hard to move forward if you don’t address the reasons why you are eating.  I am still doing my issues and moving forward.  Your body holds on to the weight until you let go of the emotions attached to eating.  That is way I am so pro active in wanting to help others to know that there is help and that they are not alone.

It hasn’t been easy but to me it is truly worth doing the work to find the real me.
