The Impact of Childhood Experiences on Eating Habits

Childhood experiences play a significant role in shaping adult eating habits, often leading to emotional eating. For instance, bullying can create lasting impressions on self-image, as highlighted by the speaker's experience being called 'fat and ugly' in childhood.
