QUESTIONS I ASK TRICIA IN THE EPISODE:

Can you tell us a bit about your background? (Specifically, what is your journey with emotional eating and how did it lead you to start Heal Your Hunger?)

What's the difference between an emotional eater and a food addict? How does someone know which one they are?

Is there more to emotional eating than just eating too much for emotional reasons?

How can someone differentiate between emotional hunger and physical hunger?

Why do people keep going back to diets when, on a deeper intellectual level, they probably know they're not working for them?

Why are “comfort foods” so comforting?

You speak of 3 hidden causes of emotional eating. What are they, and what can we do about them?

I know you also believe there's one weight loss mistake you should never make. What is that?? 

What's the PEP test, and how is it related to food addiction?

I know stress eating is a biggie for a lot of people. How can we manage our stress before it drives us to the pantry?
