My experience with clean eating and food guilt via @ExSloth | ExSloth.com

First of all I wanted to say thank you for all your kind words on my post last week. It took me weeks to finally talk myself into publishing that post because talking about my weight gain while eating whole foods felt a bit too personal for the blog. However, I’m glad that I did it
