Election over...Is your stress eating over?

Did the election leave you feeling a little anxious, or maybe even excited about the prospect of a new leader? Quite normal responses, really. Did any of us deal with those emotions and decide that we needed a little "comfort food"? Perhaps yes, perhaps no.
