Hi Ladybird,

I like how you use your own internal “compass†to determine if you’ve eaten moderately or not, rather than letting “the rules†be the determinant. This is something I’d like to start cultivating on this next 6 months of my journey.

Cheers to a good week!

I know how you feel. Even before No S and IF, I would always get frustrated by my food order being messed up, especially at restaurants. I even have gotten that way when I’ve made a meal that didn’t turn out as expected. Who knows why, but it is REALLY dissatisfying. ðŸ˜
