Why it's all about balance

here are two 'C' words that I'm going to have to mention this week. Chocolate. And Christmas. Actually, not just chocolate, but the vast volumes of food (often sugary and ultra-processed), piled high all around and winking at us from their gaudy packaging. Temptation, traps and enticement everywhere you turn, all season.

But, sisters, this is where our sense of balance comes in, because if you've been reading this column for a while (or if you've ever done my 28-day Blast Plan) you will know that chocolate is not just for Christmas and special occasions, but part of our everyday lives. If we normalise it so that it's less of a novelty, then when the festive excesses do land at our feet, we can be more, 'Meh, whatever,' and less, 'OMG, let me at it!'
