Emotional eating is one of the most powerful and often overlooked obstacles I see on my clients’ weight loss journeys. Even the most committed individuals can find themselves derailed by cravings that don’t stem from physical hunger but from stress, anxiety, sadness, or even happiness. I’ve worked with so many women and men who blame themselves for “slipping up,” when in truth, what they’re experiencing is deeply tied to the way our brains and bodies react to emotion.
