Very true about keeping the body and mind healthy. It really can affect your mood by eating well and getting some exercise. Sometimes going the easy way by getting take out and sitting on the couch feels like a good idea, but it is just another way of feeding the negative parts of yourself. I do find that when I put some effort into my eating and plan some activity to get me off the couch, emotionally I feel stronger, and that helps keep the gambling thoughts away, or at least the strength to push them aside. There are so many things we can do to help ourselves, and by being kind to ourselves emotionally and physically can assist with the battle we all have with this.
