Why do we crave brownies instead of fruit when we are stressed? Why are mashed potatoes and mac and cheese comfort foods instead of roasted veggies and refreshing salads? Today, Janet will answer these questions as well as unpack stress and weight stigma. She will even share tips to creating long-lasting habits for a healthy lifestyle.
