Food restriction or body preoccupation?

Hmmm. It is impossible to say. But I guarantee they travel together. Birds of a feather…..you know the rest. The key piece for both is skipping over the messages our body sends us.

You don’t need to do it. Just try what it feels like.

Give yourself 14 days.

Eat what you want.

Don’t weigh yourself. 

Don’t check the mirror meticulously to monitor if anything has changed.

Just live and see what happens? What is the worst that can happen?

Just try it. Keep me posted.
