There is one thing you can do to lose weight......
Be mentally prepared to do it. Get your HEAD in the right place, and your body will follow. THAT IS IT.

They want a magic answer from me, An NEW magic pill,…

Turns out I'm an "anger" eater
I used to discount all the advice given to us about "emotional eating." When I'm sad, I don't feel like eating. I don't even feel like eating when I'm depressed. I ignored all the advice about getting to the root of your feelings that lead you to eat. I figured I don't need to get to the root of the feelings. I know what…
