Hey ladies!

I wanna hear from you!  So many women I've talked to have shared with me stories where they started eating uncontrollably (usually sugar) and it all started with an emotional trigger.  You may not realize it on the surface, but I struggle with the same thing.  Looooord knows! 

I am absolutely fascinated with this "phenomenon."  And yes-I consider it to be a phenomenon.  I believe certain emotional triggers literally trigger hormones within our bodies that can send us into that crazy MUST HAVE SUGAR .... NOOOOWWW cycle.  I have become so fascinated with this, that I want to look ever further into it.  I want to figure this out. 

Yes-you can distract yourself by doing something else or finding another coping mechanism to fill the emotional "void."  I know.  Nevertheless, I think there's still a definite physical component to it that's yet to be fully understood.  If my theory is right, that a chemical reaction is physically taking place, then there must be some way to neutralize that reaction.  Perhaps it lies in a different, alchemizing food ... or an action .... I don't know.  But I wanna know more!

So ... what do I want to hear from you?  YOUR STORY.  Have you experienced this?  What was your trigger?  Is there a theme?  Is it the same kind of triggers?  Do you uncontrollably crave the same foods as  a result?  If so, what?  I wanna know!

Part of the reason for my sense of urgency is that I'm tired of offering little more than sympathy when women impart their stories to me.  Also, I personally share the same struggle.  For all these reasons, I want to be able to do more about it.  Whether it's in finding an additional physical method of coping, or starting a support group, or whatever it may be ... I feel inspired to do more.  And I'd love your input in figuring out what that "more" should be.

Thanks for your feedback!!

Sincerely .... Deawna
