Thanks so much and you are sooooo right. No more DIET!! It really is all about getting healthy. Gotta get this through my thick noggin'!!

If you are an emotional eater....anxiety is a major trigger for some of us. Just realize that you are NOT alone and that there is plenty of help from this fantastic community…
