Sometimes we get caught up in using food to reward ourselves or as self-care in a less-than-constructive way, trying to cheer ourselves up with treats that may make us feel good emotionally but that don’t pack as great a reward for our nutritional levels.

Remember, an extravagant food-based treat once in a while can be indulgent, but indulge too often, and it’s no longer a treat.”

You have to be a real American and apple pie and this and that.”
