My Comfort Food Habit & How I Knew It Was Becoming a Problem
I put a bandage over my stress and boredom by distracting myself with afternoon coffee shop runs. The days where I needed a double dose of cheer I got a pastry to go with my almond milk latte.
I knew my comfort eating was a problem though when I realized it was keeping me from confronting the underlying truth: that I was unfulfilled by my work and needed to make a change, but I felt stuck.

It’s not uncommon to be all gung-ho at the start with your goals and then motivation wanes as the weeks—or days—go by (just think: New Year's Resolutions).

Why Failure is Actually Part of the Journey to Get Your Health Back on Track
Have you ever heard the term “self-sabotage?”
