Let the Monsters Ride the Bus, and other Emotional Eating Tools

More emotional eating tools on the Revolutionary You Podcast! Jason Leenaarts asked waaaaaay different questions, and so it went in some totally different directions from anything I’ve talked about before. Again, if you’re interested in tools for working with emotional eating, even dipping into some binge eating stuff (and when to refer out), this podcast goes pretty deep.

Also, some of the tools I talked about might be fairly controversial, and definitely counterintuitive, in the fitness world, so I’ll post some of the research I’m pulling from in the comments below.
