Description
Have any of these ever crossed your mind?
“If I wasn’t dieting, I’d just eat whatever I want, whenever I want”
“I want to stop restricting, but I’m scared I won’t stop eating”
“If I brought chocolate in the house, I’d just eat the whole lot”
If so, you are not alone…
But that fear is driving a wedge between you and a world where you are completely chill and trusting of yourself with all foods
