		<description><![CDATA[It can feel maddening when we find ourselves doing the same thing over and over &#8211; like being stuck in a pattern of overeating or sugar bingeing &#8211; especially when we know better intellectually. We really, *really* know what to do. So why don&#8217;t we do it? In my experience, change is not a matter [...]]]></description>

Now that I&#8217;m being kinder to myself I&#8217;m feeling really *really* unmotivated to: go to the gym to lose the extra weight to set any boundary on food Most women share that they [...]]]></description>

But everything is rubbing me the wrong way &#8211; that irky combination of feeling overstimulated/stressed/tense and exhausted at the same time, like I want to sleep all day and also scream at the sky!

		<description><![CDATA[For most of my adult life, I&#8217;ve suffered from various forms of mental illness. I&#8217;ve had over 20 years of eating disorders, 15 years of on and off depression, and lifelong challenges with anxiety. I&#8217;ve also struggled to cope with several other traits, that while not mental illness, are often misunderstood and shamed by our [...]]]></description>
