Food has the power to temporarily alleviate stress and sadness, enhance joy, and bring us comfort when we need it most.

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!
