  • Wow Mental Inventory! This is the hardest thing for me to do on a daily basis. Mentally I understand what I need to do to get healthy, but still find myself reaching for that comfort food when I'm stressed. One positive change I have made is cooking healthy versions of that comfort food. Thanks for the challenge!
