  • I allow for a small buffer in case there's a margin of error calculating my exercise or food. But generally, you should eat them. There's also other threads on this very topic with some good insights from people. Worth a gander. :-)

  • Don't beat yourself up for comfort eating under these circumstances! If I feel myself losing a bit of control, I make myself a green tea, then ask myself these questions before putting anything in my mouth: what do you want to change about yourself/ habits? Is eating the foods I crave going to make me feel better? What…
