FEEDING the anxiety
I’m notoriously an emotional eater. I find comfort in food, and I know it is a slippery slope. As I’ve gotten older, I’ve quit trying to fight the desire to eat for comfort and have just tried to make better “comfortable” choices.

This next Call wants your political art. Take a look…
