Rarely talked about is the shameful topic of compulsive overeating and it gets worse during the Holidays. Emotional overeating is a vicious cycle that people hide that has led to generations of obesity, fad diets, exercise gimmicks and eating disorders. Lauren Grant, Founder of Hungry Heart (www.hungryheart.org), a nationally recognized group with locations through the US that are working with clients to help them break the cycle of compulsive overeating. Lauren is an expert in this area that can discuss the key signs of emotional overeating and the steps people can take to finally get help. Lauren states, “I created the program because I had struggled with my own issues of compulsive overeating, binging, and yoyo dieting. I went through periods of my life where I would exercise excessively and attempt to starve myself to lose excess body fat that I had gained from my binge eating. Although I had periods of time I could get my eating under control, it wasn't long before something would set me off and I was eating out of control again. This battle destroyed the quality of my life, inner peace, and self esteem. I spent years gaining and losing weight while I tried every diet, club, group, doctor, therapy, and book available. It took me years of work and self study to overcome my problems with food, BUT I DID IT! “
