This week’s Bawdy Love Q&A: How do you choose to eat healthy without shaming your body?
Food shame tends to work its way into our psyche quietly but malevolently. Sometimes our drive to eat nutritious food is because we should, and not because we want to indulge in nutritious food that is also delicious and decadent.
The short answer? Develop a torrid love affair with a cookbook. Make cooking a joy, not a chore, and savor every bite – whether you’re eating peas or pies.
The long answer? Take a listen to find out.
