I try to think about my eating and exercise habits as something I can control. I can't control whether my ex will pick up the kids when he says, I just pick up the pieces. I can't control my job, or the world, or the crazy people in it.

But I can control what I put in my mouth -- and that will lead me directly to feeling better about myself -- which will lead to me worrying a lot less about all of the things that I can't control.

You can do it!
