“Emotional eating is problematic whether or not you feel a loss of control, because when you eat in response to intense emotions you are strengthening the connection between emotional discomfort and eating. In addition, by avoiding the opportunity to learn and practice adaptive ways to cope with your emotions, you will be more likely to engage in emotional eating or escalate to binge eating when you’re faced with triggers.”  – Debra L. Safer, MD Sarah Adler, PsyD Philip C. Masson, PhD
