"If you're an emotional overeater, you may turn to food to cope with stress and sadness, enhance joy, and bring a sense of comfort.

In 50 More Ways to Soothe Yourself Without Food, you?ll find fifty more mindful and healthy activities to help you replace your need to overeat.
"Based in popular mindfulness practices, this book will show you how to slow down and be present during mealtime so that you end up making healthier choices. In addition, the activities in the book?such as yoga, aromatherapy, and breathing exercises?will help you gain a greater overall sense of well-being and appreciation for your body"--from the Publisher.

Abstract
Food has the power to temporarily alleviate stress and sadness, enhance joy, and bring us comfort when we need it most. It's no wonder experts estimate that 75 percent of overeating is triggered by our emotions, not physical hunger. The good news is you can instead soothe yourself through dozens of mindful activities that are healthy for both body and mind.
Susan Albers, author of Eating Mindfully, now offers 50 Ways to Soothe Yourself Without Food, a collection of mindfulness skills and practices for relaxing the body in times of stress and ending your dependence on eating as a means of coping with difficult emotions. You'll not only discover easy ways to soothe urges to overeat, you'll also learn how to differentiate emotion-driven hunger from healthy hunger. Reach for this book instead of the refrigerator next time you feel the urge to snack-these alternatives are just as satisfying!
