Overeating is an attempt to go numb. As one of my clients says “it’s easier to stuff my feelings than to feel them.” You don’t want to think about how much you have to do, how many responsibilities you have . . . or how much pressure and uncertainty you are dealing with. It’s just easier to eat. Read this article to find out how to change this overeating pattern.
I can’t tell you how many people have protested to me “. . . but, Carol . . . nothing ‘works’ like food!” That is a true sign of food addiction and that you are overeating and using food to self medicate.

There are things in life that one cannot escape from. For some of us, eczema seems to be on that list. This skin problem can be caused by many things such as allergy to food or cloth, an imbalance of fatty acids and even stress.
My two daughters are already an example of eczema victims who get it because of different reasons. My eldest daughter gets it when she is stressed out. If there’s an upcoming exam that she knows she’s not well-prepared with, I can almost guarantee you that her anxiety will extend to her skin and a flare-up will soon be our problem again. My second daughter gets her eczema from food. You can expect a flare up extending to the skin on the face after a few hours of eating just a leg of chicken.
