The Solution To Food Guilt
*Lightly edited for anonymity.*
Takeaway: Food guilt stems from food regret.
And regret shows up when we make decisions we didn’t actually want to make.
If you didn’t plan it, didn’t want it, and didn’t own it, of course you feel bad.
But when you choose something on purpose—even with trade-offs—you take your power back.
The fix isn’t control.
It’s intention.

How I Fit a 1,000 Calorie Sandwich Into My Diet
Ok, I took too big of a bite… but worth it.
Katz’s Deli. Pastrami sandwich. 9/10. No notes.
Here’s what surprises people the most:
“Wait—you eat stuff like that? How are you not gaining weight?”
It’s simple.
I’ve built a lifestyle that makes room for moments like this—on purpose.
Most of the time, I eat nutritious foods that fuel my body.
I stay active. I train consistently and have a hobby that keeps me moving for hours while having fun.
But I also don’t say no to once-in-a-lifetime meals just to stick to some perfect streak.
That’s food freedom.
No guilt. No “starting over tomorrow.”
Just confidence in the system and habits I’ve built that work with my life, not against it.
If you’ve ever felt like enjoying food means giving up on your goals… It’s not true. You’ve just been taught the wrong approach.
And if you’re ready to finally break that cycle, I will show you how.

P.S. Yesterday, I volunteered on a farm planting close to 200 fruit trees. A familiar face I know from the community had reached out for help. It sounded interesting. I said yes.
Go say yes to more interesting things this week.
