122. It’s understandable that people feel distress about eating emotionally. Our society has pathologized it, viewing emotional eating as having a lack of self-control or a problem that needs to be fixed. But, eating IS emotional and using food to cope with emotions isn’t always inherently negative. Join me this week as I explore the topic of emotional eating and offer a different perspective from what our society and diet culture have influenced us to think about it.
