So married to it that you&#8217;d lose part of your identity if you stopped. \u2063\u2063<br \/>\u2063\u2063<br \/>If you treat [insert nutrition approach] like a tool, you can walk away from it at any time. I liken it to riding a bike &#8211; you don&#8217;t have to ride a bike every single day to know you&#8217;ll be able to jump back in the seat next time the opportunity is presented. \u2063\u2063<br \/>\u2063\u2063<br \/>Just like if you&#8217;re tracking macros to educate yourself about proper portion sizes to support your goals &#8211; you can confidently dip in and out of it at any time. \u2063\u2063<br \/>\u2063\u2063<br \/>But if you&#8217;re leaning on your macros, color-coded containers, points, or blocks to make decisions for you, it might be time to do some self-reflection and reframe. It&#8217;s no longer a tool and you&#8217;re giving the approach way too much power. \u2063\u2063<br \/>\u2063\u2063<br \/>And damnit if you&#8217;re tired of tracking, stop tracking! Start trusting your instincts because I know you know how to build a balanced, and satisfying meal if you&#8217;ve been paying attention to what&#8217;s on your plate throughout the time spent tracking.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section
