Many moms including myself reach for food or a drink when we are anxious, upset, overwhelmed and stressed. Without thinking we go for sweets, salty foods or alcohol to make the unconformable negative feelings go away. We hunger not for the ice cream or chocolate but for inner peace and connection. We want joy and serenity.
