How to Stop At One Scoop

In this episode, I’m talking about how I eat ice cream almost every single night + actually stop when I’ve had enough, inspired by a DM asking: “How do you stop at one scoop? Every time I allow myself some, I want more.” Because I haven’t always been able to have ice cream in the freezer without thinking about it constantly, going back for more, or finishing the pint just so it wouldn’t be in the house anymore. I’m taking you through my own journey from banning ice cream + eating entire pints of low-calorie alternatives to enjoying the real thing without the mental battle. And the FIVE things that changed my ability to feel in charge around food, without relying on more discipline or stricter rules.
