A few months ago, Liz from San Francisco sent me an Instagram DM:

“My husband is away for work often, and being home alone for days on end makes my Food Freedom plan go right out the window. Why is it so much harder when I’m home by myself, and how can I better navigate my food freedom under these circumstances?”

This is a common occurrence. I bet many of us find our “is it worth it, do I want it?” queries get much looser (or disappear entirely) when there’s no one there to witness or judge our behavior.
