Can we enjoy life without our binge foods? Absolutely!
I’ve been asked before, “Don’t you have cake on your birthday?” And my answer is simple: Who said we need cake to celebrate? When did that become the rule?
Traditions like birthday cake might be common, but they’re not essential for joy. I’ve learned to embrace birthdays by focusing on what truly matters—spending time with loved ones, doing activities I enjoy, and nourishing my body with healthy foods.
The best part? I don’t feel sick or regretful afterward. Instead, I can fully enjoy my birthday, feeling good physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
Let’s redefine what celebration looks like—one that honors our health and fills us with joy.
