Overcoming Emotional Eating: Why Controlling Your Emotions Are Critical to Losing Weight

If you are like the other two million people who have discovered GOLO, it’s likely because you were tired of feeling frustrated and asking yourself questions, such as: Why can’t I lose weight? What is happening to my body? Why do I feel so bad?

That’s almost the same amount of time we spend working and is equal to 20% of your life spent watching TV.
