“Taming the Food Monster Within”
A poem by Avis Rumney
Download this insightful poem in booklet form. Written by Avis, the poem explores in a light-hearted, compassionate way the challenges we face with emotional eating, and how we can encourage healthy relationships with ourselves, with others, and with food. Here’s an excerpt…
