Instead of swinging between restriction and overindulgence, focus on balance.
Look at is as most of the time nourishing your body with foods that make you feel good, while also leaving room for the occasional extras you love.

When your choices come from a place of nourishment instead of restriction, everything feels lighter … physically and mentally.
