Maybe it's eating foods you used to hate, looking forward to a nap, wearing a fanny pack, or realizing those old food rules don't make much sense anymore.Funny how our tastes, opinions, habits, and even our rules change as we get older. From learning to love vegetables at restaurants and cooking salmon at home to making peace with foods like potatoes, avocados, and full-fat dairy, sometimes changing your mind is a pretty great thing.We're sharing the things we used to judge, avoid, or swear we'd never do, and a few things we've finally given ourselves permission to enjoy. Because growing, changing, and figuring out what works for you is all part of the journey.Support the show-----------------------------------💙 BECOME A SUPPORTERMonthly: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1584829/supportOne-Time: https://buy.stripe.com/28o6r90DE5l6c3mcMM📲 CONNECT  WITH USInstagram: http://instagram.com/realwwtalkFacebook: http://facebook.com/groups/realwwtalkYouTube: http://youtube.com/realwwtalkEmail: [email protected]🕵️‍♀️ FIND US ON WW CONNECTCandice: @candigirl_08Rikki: @radiantlyrikkiErin: @erinsworld🛍️ AMAZON STOREFRONThttps://www.amazon.com/shop/realwwtalk?ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_aipsfshop_9OGY28Q9YI9HYJ6TBKJM _______The content presented is for educational and information purposes only.
