This week’s spring break focus is Emotional Eating. And we’re exploring all things emotional eating.  Now emotional eating isn’t bad. It’s very normal. It’s okay to get pleasure and comfort and other positive emotion from the food that we eat. We shouldn’t deny ourselves that pleasure if we’re happy with our weight and physically and emotionally healthy.
