In the midst of a busy day, it's normal to gravitate toward food--a quick slice of pizza, a chocolate bar, or a bag of chips--that fulfills a craving of the moment or gives a quick energy boost. This impulse makes sense. Food gives us a sense of pleasure and joy and can provide us with satisfaction and comfort. It gives us energy and quite literally sustains life as we know it. It should be emotional. If you are feeling sad, stressed, exhausted, hangry, or bored, it's comforting to eat dishes you love and crave. In Eat Your Feelings, Lindsey Smith, the Food Mood Girl, shows how to make yummy meals and snacks with mood-boosting ingredients that will physically nourish. Lindsey will share ways to eat healthy foods based on what people tend to crave the most during heightened emotional states, introducing recipes with crunchy, cheesy, creamy, sweet, and salty themes and drink alternatives for those who tend to chug soda or coffee when all worked up. A major element of the Food Mood lifestyle is love, and revolutionizing the way you treat your body and your cravings will not only rid yourself of hanger pains but will also teach you how to listen and respond to your body with healthy ingredients and recipes. Blending together Lindsey Smith's passion for health and wellness, food and humor, Eat Your Feelings is a humorous, lighthearted take on your typical diet book.

How to Eat Your Feelings is about a food lover's journey through life, using cooking as a form of meditation.

An extraordinary, powerful connection exists between feeling and feeding that, if damaged, may lead to one relying on food for emotional support, rather than seeking authentic happiness. This unique workbook takes on the seven emotions that plague problem eaters - guilt, shame, helplessness, anxiety, disappointment, confusion, and loneliness - and shows readers how to embrace and learn from their feelings. Written with honesty and humor, the book explains how to identify and label a specific emotion, the function of that emotion, and why the emotion drives food and eating problems. Each chapter has two sets of exercises: experiential exercises that relate to emotions and eating, and questionnaires that provoke thinking about and understanding feelings and their purpose. Supplemental pages help readers identify emotions and chart emotional development. The final part of the workbook focuses on strategies for disconnecting feeling from food, discovering emotional triggers, and using one's feelings to get what one wants out of life.
