In My Non-Expert Opinion Emotional Eating, Ditching Food Rules and Why You Don’t Need to Earn Your Brownie (and Never Did) with Jess Suchan, Holistic Health & Mindset Coach
274: “I gradually started adding back in fear foods. It wasn't like I ate carbs at every meal because that was the thing I was scared of. I would add in like carrots, which is crazy to say! I was scared of carrots. So I would add in carrots at lunch or half a sweet potato at dinner or half a slice of bread. And I would see, oh the world didn't end. That actually satisfied me longer. I'm happier." - Jess Suchan
