Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 There are two women, Jennifer and Cindy. They both have had a stressful day at work due to their critical and irrational boss. Jennifer begins snacking the moment she gets home, as a way to calm down. Cindy, on the other hand, calls a friend to vent about her terrible day. #2 Self-soothing is the ability to regulate your feelings. It is at the core of your well-being. You are able to tolerate things that get you really upset and stressed-out without crumbling or falling to pieces. #3 If you don’t have a strong set of skills already in place, it is important to develop them now. The good news is that it is possible to strengthen these skills. If your old ways are not adequate, you can learn new ways to comfort and soothe yourself. #4 Eating can be a substitute for self-soothing, and is often used to help us feel better. It can provide us with comfort foods that are mentally linked with emotions, and foods that are fatty and sugary.

Most of us are really, really good at devising reasons to indulge in foods that derail our diets and healthy eating plans. Who among us hasn’t thought, “I had a stressful day, so I deserve this chocolate,” or, “Buttery popcorn would go so well with this movie!” When we view food as a reward, emotional eating can be difficult to overcome. Most fad diets tell you to “control” your eating, use willpower, ignore your cravings, or just stop eating. Recall for a moment where this got you in the past. Feeling frustrated or hopeless?
