Food Freedom and Intuitive Eating
Maybe you're someone who has tried to eat well for a long time and somehow ended up more anxious about food, not less. The tracking, the rules, the constant negotiation with yourself about what you're allowed to eat. The exhaustion of trying so hard and still feeling out of control.
