A friend went to Asia years ago and came back using the expression, "same same but different." The expression is used to explain things that are familiar yet unique. So much of the holidays are about tradition. There is a comfort to doing things the same way each year. But remember that you can also carve out a new way for yourself and your family if the old way hasn't been working, particularly when it comes to food, fighting, and even fun. It can be "same same but different."

Sweets and chocolate are many people's weak spot. The holidays can be the hardest time of year to avoid sugar. And the more of it you eat, the more of it you want to eat.

The first Hanukkah candle gets lit tonight and the countdown to Christmas begins. Then, there's the solstice, Kwanza and so many other reasons to party and eat. You might already have had your fair share of seasonal cheer, and food, and it's only December 11th. If the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over, and over again but expecting different results then, take a more sane (and by more sane, we mean different) approach to the holidays this year.

As a psychiatrist who has worked with thousands of overweight people over four decades, I can understand how much you suffer when you are overweight or think of yourself as fat. Not only do you suffer from the physical and medical consequences of extra weight, but I know that you also suffer from painful feelings, such as disappointment, hopelessness, and guilt.

This program will help you learn the mental skills you need to stop overeating. Because, most of the time, you are really not hungry for food but for something else.

As you uncover and demystify your hidden triggers to eat, you will diminish their power over you, until one day you wake and the cravings will be gone! The new thinner, healthier, happier YOU will emerge.

Find out if you're an emotional eater and what your triggers are. Take my Emotional Eating Diagnostic.
