Comfort Eating Recovery Tips 2
This is Part 2 of ‘Comfort Eating Recovery Quick Tips Series’
Tips 10 – 19
In reaction to Boris’ war on obesity, I’m producing quick comfort eating recovery tips in video, every working week day.
Understanding and managing the emotional and psychological side of comfort eating is very much overlooked.
Please share this series, or any of these videos, to reach anyone who might need some support.
Your comments and questions are also very much encouraged. I love to respond to questions, and will respond to all. I guarantee you’ll be helping others out with this too!
On Fridays at 5:30pm I go live on Facebook and YouTube to summarise the tips of the week, and to respond to any comments or questions. Please join me!
