Ever wondered why you reach for that chocolate bar when you're stressed? In this eye-opening episode of 'RAW CHATTER!', Vicky Midwood dives into the emotional roots of overeating. Broadcasting from Boston, she debunks the myth that weight is the core problem and instead focuses on the emotional connections we have with food. Vicky shares her personal experiences with sugar addiction and stealing sweets as a child, shedding light on how childhood memories can shape our eating habits.
