After a whirlwind morning finally managing to get the kids down for a nap, or on your way home from work after a long day that’s not even close to being over, you feel the stress eating rising and suddenly crave something salty or sweet and full of comfort.
As moms, food may be the way you deal with stress because the alternative is blowing your top and yelling at your kids.
