Apologies for the super-short newsletter today but I just saw this and had to share it with you.

Fitness author Jon Benson sent this out and I thought it was both hilarious and powerful.

Ready?

“A study in Psychosomatic Medicine has confirmed that people tend to consume food in order to self-medicate their feelings of stress or anxiety.

They call it “emotional eating.”

I know… it’s a real shocker. ; )

But this isn’t meant to be cute or light about this diet-wrecker.

This is the number one reason diet- plans fail… I’ve seen it way too many times.

In case you missed it, here’s Jon’s short story about overcoming emotional eating and getting in touch with a better way to make food work for you… not against you…

P.S. Jon is continuing his fund-raising efforts for St. Jude Children’s Hospital. One week was not long enough.

Ten percent of all book proceeds will go to St. Jude.

Thanks to all of you who have participated!
