Anyone with similar relationship with food?
I don't think I have a problem with emotional eating. Usually when I'm upset or depressed I don't want to eat and have no appetite. When I'm in a good mood I am usually able to stay on track easily. But I do have a crappy relationship with food at times. For example, last night after a great day of counting calories,…
