Think, Laugh, & Cry Each Day
I’ve fallen into a bad habit that's been horrible for my waistline and my health. I've fallen into the trap of emotional eating as a way to celebrate events, but also to suppress stress and sadness.

I was going to see my first NFL football game, the St. Louis Cardinals versus the Baltimore Colts in old Memorial Stadium in Baltimore. I didn't know much about either team, but I wasn't about to pass up a chance to go... Continue Reading →
