Sometimes, whether we realize it or not, we make food a stand-in for dealing with the stresses or difficult feelings in our life. Here’s a quote to think about:

“For many years it felt that food had cast a spell on me. It called to me from the cupboard, the display case, the concession stand. It filled the empty moments. It took the edge off the day. It was something I loved. But I hated how much control it had over me…I realized that I had assigned to food many jobs that I felt unable to do for myself.”   -Alison Ross
