I have described, in my book shrink Yourself, the only way to stop emotional eating and that is to deal with what you are trying to avoid by overeating. Food used as a medication shuts off your mind temporarily; it works for a while; the problems remain unsolved and surface again, then you eat again.....if you go to www. shrinkyourself.com you will find a twleve week program that has actually cured people of their emotional eating habit...read the testimonials, then take the free session, and see if that is right for you.
