SOOOO TRUE!!! I know whenever I feel crappy, stressed, depressed, nervous, etc. I tend to eat and will choose the higher-carb, higher sugar, and higher fat options rather than all of the healthy food all over my apartment because it is immensely soothing. I think that if we all got more therapy and worked on exercising more just in general, we would all feel a whole lot better (but I'm not really one to talk here!)
