Quotes to ponder:

"When you are chronically stressed, under-rested, or somehow emotionally over-drawn, the great likelihood is that you will be more drawn to these seductive, hyperpalatable foods."

"Food is a natural soother, and at those times when you’re burned out, at night, after work, for example, food seems like a viable shortcut to serenity."

"No food is bad. No food is good."
