Part one of a two part series. This isn’t a conversation about thin bodies, about losing weight, this is a conversation about how eating food to avoid negative emotions is keeping so many moms stuck in survival mode. This is a conversation how overeating, stress eating, and emotional eating are keeping you from the life you want to live. Diets don’t address the root cause of the problem, they are a bandaid fix to a symptom of a much bigger issue of why we turn to food in times of stress.
