This week’s blog of the week is called The Next Hundred Pounds.

Each Tuesday, we’ll select a blog of the week dealing with emotional eating help. Whether it’s a personal blog, a blog that is a great resource with tips on fighting emotional eating and overeating, or a blog from a professional journal, we’d love to hear any suggestions or nominations. Please send an email to blogoftheweek@emotionaleatinghelp.org if you’d like to nominate a blog of the week.

The winner of the first EmotionalEatingHelp.org blog of the week is a 2008 Best of Blogs winner, Escape from Obesity. The blog is also currently in the running for the people’s health blogger awards. The site is described as "A look into the secret life and inner thoughts of an obese mom." The blogger is chronicling her weight loss by month and in photos, give recipe suggestions and reviews, and provides in-depth stories of her struggles. It’s an excellent and frequently updated blog.
