Dear Colleagues,
America is facing a health care crisis. According to the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES III), one in two
U.S. adults are obese or overweight. This trend is not limited to adults. The CDC indicates that among children and teens aged
6-19 years, 16 percent (over 9 million young people) are considered overweight. Today's newsletter provides resources related to the treatment and prevention of obesity.

Early recognition and intervention may help clinicians introduce prevention when parents are more amenable to change.

Are You an Emotional Eater?
Emotional eating happens any time you eat not because you are physically hungry but because you have feelings of boredom, depression, loneliness, fear, anger or frustration.
