When Food Becomes Your Therapist
Reach for a bag of chips after a difficult conversation. Polish off a pint of ice cream during a late-night Netflix binge. Grab a donut because, well, you've earned it. Sound familiar? Here's the uncomfortable truth: most weight struggles have nothing to do with willpower or discipline. They're about unprocessed emotions that we've learned to swallow instead of feel. While the diet industry rakes in billions selling restriction and guilt, research reveals a staggering fact-84% of dieters fail to keep weight off, and 70% end up heavier than when they started. The problem isn't your lack of commitment. It's that traditional diets treat symptoms while ignoring the wound underneath. What if the path to lasting freedom didn't require counting calories or forbidden food lists? What if it started with understanding why you reach for food when you're not actually hungry?
