Omg thank you! Thank you for saying this. I bought and resold a Peloton during COVID - definitely not crushing it. The stress and changes of the pandemic definitely made comfort food more appealing to me…and I do not feel like we are ever “going back to normal.”
I needed this permission slip to be compassionate with myself. 🥰 Great video.

Thank YOU for watching so quickly and for taking the time to comment! I've glad it was helpful. I'm seeing a lot of shame and new diets for "the covid 15" lately and it's not helpful.
