Ever struggle with emotional eating? The battle is more universal than we like to admit... and the shame we feel around it can be immense.
In her TEDxWilmingtonSalon talk, Jamie Hess describes she found herself stuck in a cycle of compulsive overeating after the birth of her first child. Her instinct was to hide and try to "fix it herself." What followed was a downward spiral that felt eerily familiar... similar to the battle with drug addiction she had fought in her twenties.
