Dealing with stress...and other emotions
I don't deal with stress well. When I'm sad, stressed or angry I want to eat and eat and eat to shove the feelings down. My mom has cancer and things have not been easy on her.

Just little reminders to be healthy. I'm currently working on an inspiration board of things that motivate me (a person hiking, a baby…
