Hi all! My name is Stacey, and I am 45 years old. Last year I was diagnosed with chronic lymphocytic leukemia and I also need to lose 90 lbs. It's so hard when I'm trying to stay upbeat about my health, but food has always been such a form of comfort for me. I really need to find more nurturing ways of dealing with stress than to cook and eat. Suggestions? Thanks - and best of luck to you on your journey to better health!

    HI! Find something active you love to do or you have to do. I have a dog so even when I don't want to... I have to walk him. Also I got a gym membership and I hate to waste money!!! so I use it. I'm a single Mom so I know all about stress, I found my workouts help a bit.
