One can be faced with many challenges when trying to lose weight.
Food plays a vital role in our lives.
We eat not only to nourish ourselves, but also to provide for our emotional and social needs. We are also constantly bombarded with messages to eat.

The daily temptations to resist eating high calorie foods can be overwhelming when trying to lose weight.
