I used to be so anxious to take a day off from exercise that I’d force myself to work out even when I was absolutely exhausted, sore AF, overwhelmed and even in pain. I ran half marathons because that’s the form of exercise that burned the most calories (even though I didn’t enjoy it and it caused me a whole lot of physical pain).

You bet I did. To say that I used to struggle with an unhealthy relatio ..read more

Maybe you've heard the studies that compare sugar to addictive drugs, and you've concluded that since the problem is the food itself, the only solution is to abstain from sugar consumption altogether.  You've tried not bringing sweets into your home, replacing sugar in recipes with "healthier" alternatives, and creating rules around when it's "allowed" to eat sweets (for example: "I can only eat sweets on the weekends"). If you can relate, then there's a good ch ..read more
