I shared how the mental switch between the two has helped me overcome some previous unhealthy behaviors and have a more positive relationship with food.

Part of this also included another mental shift. Before, my eating efforts always cycled between “diet eating” and “I-don’t-give-a-@%#$” eating patterns. Then I took value in [...]
