I manage anxiety through self-care and by paying attention to myself. I'm not always successful, but failure nowadays means I had a second helping or ate some biltong. Things are better than they were when I was younger. Caring about myself and choosing to be proactive makes a world of difference.
Nice. Yea, having a super harmless failure mode is great :) After a few years of keto, a "failure of willpower" for me meant that I bought a ketogenic energy drink or protein bar. Somehow, my brain had retrained and "cheat foods" were just different ones. I even went back and tried carbs last summer and confirmed I don't even miss them. Not that they were disgusting, just nothing I'd eat on purpose.
I'll read over that. Thanks.
