Interesting topic today on the today show. "Emotional eating".
I see this constantly with clients!!! The guest was a psychologist that had gained 100 lbs and lost it.
Her book focuses on what triggers emotional eating. She suggesting the FLAB test. Ask yourself these questions if you think you are hungry
F- am I eating because I'm frustrated?
L- is eating filling the "loneliness"
A- am I eating cause I'm angry
B- is this snack cause I'm bored?

Really ask yourself this when your about to indulge in that snack at night.

3.) make time for yourself even if you are a mom. If you make time for you, you will be an even better mom
4.) you can get your body back after a baby
5.) looks fade, take care of you, your family, and spend time helping other people being the best they can be.
