When Old Habits Crash The Party ...

Move Well, Stay Healthy

Old habits can sneak back like uninvited guests, can’t they?

Even after 18 years.

I stick to carnivore most days—feeling awesome—until last night, when my food-as-a-crutch buddy showed up.

Ice cream, nuts, raisins—I went wild!

Then this morning, I nabbed more nuts, raisins, and a scone, like I’d forgotten how good “good” feels.

Now I’m bloated, winded, and wiped—yep, that’s a wake-up call!

Hopefully next time, I’ll remind myself of this bloated mess, then sip water and take a quick walk before I snack.

For you readers, try jotting down how great you feel on your strong days and how miserable you are when you stray—it’s a little push to keep rolling right.

Ease is worth it!

Do you stumble with food cravings too, or have you got tricks to stay on track?
