Have you ever eaten chocolate or chips when you feel stressed?Rewarded yourself for a job well done with a little sticky celebration? Hid from sadness with a whole box of ice cream to yourself? The term "emotional eating" might be new to you, but I'm sure you can see how it works. This interview with Tricia Nelson, author of "Heal Your Hunger," is powerful in that we unlock the hidden truth behind why many of us can't lose weight -- It's not about the food.It's not about self-discipline. It's about feelings.
