When you need a pick me up, do you head straight for the fridge or pantry? Do you tend to emotionally eat, stress eat, boredom eat or overeat? Have you tried so many diets but find yourself yo-yoing back and forth with no real results? If you're like many women, and are guilty of some or all of the above, this book is for you. Maybe you use food as a reward. Or as a distraction when you are bored, have had a bad day, fought with your partner, the kids are driving you mad or your boyfriend dumped you. But it doesn't really help. In fact, it usually makes you feel worse. It's shame, fear, past stories and emotions that keep you going back to the cupboard-until now. In her book Empowered Eating, international powerlifting athlete and emotional eating specialist Kim Stevenson Farmakis shares 12 easy strategies that will free you from binge eating forever. Kim has a passion for empowering women to regain control of their eating habits and become emotionally, mentally and physically stronger in the process. Each strategy is written in easy to understand language and teaches you step-by-step how to change your relationship with food. You'll uncover the beliefs and coding you have carried forward from your childhood into your adult life-and gain the knowledge and tools you need to rewrite the story so you can have the life that you deserve.
