I can’t think of anything I want for a joy eat. I used to fill my day with joy eats. Planning one feels really different–not as fun or exciting as eating joy food in the moment. I don’t feel like I want anything or crave anything. Weird, right?

Should I just pick something and do it? I am also concerned that after mostly cutting out sugar/flour, eating a joy food with sugar or flour in it might make me crave it again.

Any advice?
