I just saw a video from Jimmy Kimmel of an annual prank where he encourages parents to video themselves telling their kids that they ate all of the kids Halloween candy. I must admit it was funny to see the kids have such expressive (sad, mad) reactions. It also made me think of the torment some of us experience after the kids go Trick or Treating and now we are faced with lots of candy in the house or left over candy bought to give out to the kids.

Grieving the Loss of the Symptom
Tina Villalobos, MSW, LMSW Therapist As a therapist who works with people with eating disorders, I am regularly exposed to the tremendous angst and confusion people feel when wrestling with the possibility of recovery. It is no mystery that this process is a difficult one, a journey that can be fraught with back and forth, yes and no, “I guess recovery is worth it but maybe it’s not”.
