For years, I thought the solution was to remove certain foods from my life.

Not just from my plate.

From my mind.

The croissant.

Hi Saiah,

Thank you so much for your kind words! ❤️ I’m starting over too, so we’re in the same boat. I have an acute sciatic pain that it is totally blocking me from all activities.

As for running and swimming during 5B, I personally continue to stay little active, but everyone responds differently. My suggestion would be to listen to your bod…[Read more]

Thanks Samatha. I am trying to do my best to beat every day food noise staying active.

Beautiful 🤩

Congratulations Allison
