The Truth About Health: It’s Not Defined by the Size of Your Body

Alexandra about to eat at a cupcake, knowing that she will never feel guilt about food again.

Have you ever felt guilty over something you ate? I remember when I used to swear to myself that I would be “better.” I would stop eating sugar, carbs, or [insert food demonized by diet culture].
