Food Thoughts: Why We Have Them and How to Heal Them
One of the hardest aspects of emotional eating is the obsession with food. Incessant food thoughts take control our mind, making it difficult to think about anything else. Food thoughts distract us from our work, our families, and even our relationship with God. They make us feel ashamed and disconnected from those we love. In this episode I explore the lessons that can be learned from our obsession with food, and practical steps you can take to break free.
