Summary
You're a human, so you've experienced physical pain. Maybe you have chronic pain, maybe you just have acute pain that happens more rarely. When you experience it, you might find yourself eating to distract yourself from the pain and to feel better.
In this episode, not only am I talking about what happens when you eat to ease your pain, but also how you can still live a fulfilled life no matter how much pain you feel. Your pain doesn't have to dictate your life. You still have authority of how you think, feel, and act.

| 0:39.5 | comfort emotional pain, but today I want to address the physical pain. A lot of you listening |
| 0:46.0 | probably don't have chronic pain, but I wanted to do an episode on this anyway because |

| 0:55.3 | you feel some sort of physical pain and you eat to help yourself feel better and to distract |

| 1:13.7 | when they were so bad that I was sent home from work. I swore I would never be the girl that left |
| 1:20.1 | work because of her cramps. I thought it was such a cop out, but this one day I just couldn't do it. |
| 1:26.6 | I was working at a restaurant at the time, |
| 1:28.3 | and whenever I had a minute to spare, |
| 1:30.4 | I'd go out back into the dry storage area, |
