If you have, you're not alone.
In today's episode of the Nutritio's My Life Podcast, I'm helping you understand why we self sabotage and hacks for overcoming this mindset. Because... enjoying the 3 slices of pieces of pizza at your nieces party or the cake does not make you a failure. It makes you human! We are social beings and eating a meal with family/friends is a crucial part of society and our health. And having one meal that's not "healthy" is not going to make or break your "diet".
What I typically notice is that in these situations, we need to work on our relationship with foods and ourselves to overcome self sabotage. This is what I'm helping you with today!
