    Emotional eating. Usually referred to as a woman's issue but I'm here to examen the possibility of it being a man's problem as well.  After all, how many beers and bags of chips can we consume before it stops being an after work treat and instead an anesthetizing substance?
    Are we even willing to look and see if there is a problem? If the answer is a resounding "NO!" then that may be a bad sign.  I have often heard the example of "the frog in the pot".
This is how it go's:
    Take two pots of water and set them on the stove.  Get one boiling and leave the other off.  Now take two frogs and place one in each pot.  The frog in the hot water jumps right out and hops away! The other stays.  Now slowly heat up the cold pot.  Because the water isn't hot right away the frog doesn't notice that there is a problem, so he stays.  After a while the frog is boiled to death.
    The lesson here is that almost nobody has a major life problem or issue right away.  We'd fix it.  What happens for most of us is that we'er the frog in the slowly heating water.  You and I think every thing is fine until one day a HUGE health or relationship dilemma rears it's ugly head and we have no idea where it came from.
    So take heed my friends!  Make sure your not the frog in the heating water!  If you find that alcohol may be an issue, click here so start finding some help - www.alcoholalcoholism.org/?gclid=CMWkx-OVmbcCFVES7Aod1GwANg
