Interesting article

on emotional eating. We talk about this every once in a while on Finding Skinny, but I thought it did a good job of summarizing the feelings and things many of us go through.

My week is going good. I'm trying to make healthy choices, although with birthday celebrations spread out over three days this week, it's hard to not want to just eat crazy and spoil myself! :)

Sometimes I feel like that all the health/diet/fitness writers/media/professionals take a subject like "emotional eating disorders" and blow it way out of proportion.
I would like to ask.. How are we supposed to feel about food? It is what sustains us. It is a huge part of our lives, our celebrations, our heritage.
As women, especially, preparing food is a big part of our daily routine. It is what we do for our children to keep them strong and healthy.
How would we not have emotional ties to food?

Totally. That is very true, A. Maybe the issue really is that we let the emotions control our behavior...
