Learn Inner Nurturing and End Emotional Eating

If you regularly eat when you're not truly hungry, choose unhealthy comfort foods, or eat beyond fullness, something is out of balance. Recent advances in brain science have uncovered the crucial role that our early social and emotional environment plays in the development of imbalanced eating patterns. When we do not receive consistent and sufficient emotional nurturance during our early years, we are at greater risk of seeking it from external sources, such as food. Despite logical arguments, we have difficulty modifying our behavior because we are under the influence of an emotionally dominant part of the brain.

The good news is that the brain can be rewired for optimal emotional health. When Food Is Comfort presents a breakthrough mindfulness practice called Inner Nurturing, a comprehensive, step-by-step program developed by an author who was herself an emotional eater. You'll learn how to nurture yourself with the loving-kindness you crave and handle stressors more easily so that you can stop turning to food for comfort. Improved health and self-esteem, more energy, and weight loss will naturally follow.

      Overeating is a complex behavior, but according to Simon (The Emotional Eater's Repair Manual), it mainly indicates that those affected are missing important self-care skills generally learned in childhood. To promote healing, the author teaches mindfulness and nurturing skills that rewire the brain. Seven specific skills, such as practicing validating thoughts, getting clear on needs, and reframing self-defeating voices, complement exercises and case studies, making it easy for readers to follow and apply the lessons. VERDICT Simon covers all the bases of a complicated issue and offers genuine hope.
