Dear Diary
Dear Alice,
I had so many simchas recently
and I feel like I overdid the
food. What is the best way to
reset myself? Should I eat less or
maybe try a juice cleanse to detox
myself? I don’t know much about
that but I heard about it and am
tempted to try it.
Don't fret. Sometimes reframing the
situation and having an action plan is
all you need to rebound. Start with this
rebound checklist:
1. Plan your next healthy meal and
skip none:
It’s easy to rebound from a gluttonous
moment and overreact by avoiding food

but don’t plan on being extreme. The best
option is to ground yourself with healthy
meals throughout the day. Keep in mind,
skipping meals can trigger a cheat meal
and stop your body from burning any fat.
Even if you’re not hungry, have something
small between your meals such as a small
serving of fruit or vegetables. Simply
planning your next meal is a powerful act
of self-care that can remind you that food
is not your enemy.
2. Plan your next workout:
Yes, you don’t want to go for a jog
right after you had a massive meal but
scheduling your next workout is a strong
reminder that you’re getting back to your
normal fitness routine. It’s also a great
affirmation of how you see yourself: You
are not defined by this food bender. For
example, you could say “Not only am I the
person who ate all the potato kugel, but I
am also a runner. A runner that
just ate lots of kugel but a runner
