In this podcast episode we explore the connection between loneliness and overeating. All of us experience loneliness at some time in our life. And for those of us who also struggle with overeating the relationship between loneliness and emotional eating can be complex.
Listen in to this episode to both explore what to do when you want to stop turning to food to comfort yourself when you feel lonely, and what you can do to avoid isolating yourself because of how you feel about yourself and your eating.
