However when I feel stress and lack of control and running isn't an option I tend to gravitate to food. Food and the pleasure of eating it is something I can control. Unfortunately there is a down side and that is weigh…

ReplyDeleteThank you Anonymous. I was seriously smiling as I was walking through the store to walk up to the register. I seriously must have purchased at least 6 pairs.
