That is why it's happening, that is why it started, and that is what is maintaining it." - Rachelle Heinemann "Not all emotional eating is bad. I think that when we're having a rough time, our appetite is going to fluctuate." - Rachelle Heinemann "It's okay, you can feel these ways." - Rachelle Heinemann "If somebody has difficulty regulating emotion, put those two together.
