I loved the podcast. I’ve been inspired to eat healthier but not to panic and guilt myself with food. I tend to eat healthy but always celebrate with unhealthy foods. I’m going to embark on eating healthy without guilt. Unfortunately my guilty please foods are all rich in sugar. But like she suggested, I will start with a sugar free meal a day and take it from there.
Thanks Aisha! I’m with you! Sugar rich foods are my guilty pleasure also. Baby steps – I like your plan of having one sugar free meal a day. Definitely something you could stick to!
Hello Aisha,
I am so glad you enjoy the podcast and that you are ready to make some changes. Fantastic! Yes, set achievable goals, one meal at a time. That is the beauty of healthy eating, it starts at the next meal.
You have got this!
