Hello, I'm Dr. Roger Gould.
I've been helping people break the bond between emotions and eating for years. If you eat to deal with stress, loneliness, anxiety or any other unpleasant feeling - it will always be hard to lose weight and keep it off. That's because food has become a coping mechanism and once that happens you'll frequently choose the short-term gratification of feeling better to the long-term benefits of weight loss.

Why Do You Want To Lose Weight Or Stop Binge Eating?
When someone comes to my office for the first time, I always ask them to explain the reasons they have for wanting to lose weight. Let's start in that same place.

Select all the reasons you have for losing weight below. Be sure to select at least two items from each category, but feel free to choose all the ones that apply to you.
