Hello and welcome to the Chris Terrell podcast.

I am your host, Chris Terrell.

And this is episode five of season one.

By the way, just so you know, I'm going to be taking this to 10 episodes and then I'll be taking a short break so I can plan out the next season because I'm starting to really enjoy this podcasting thing.

But I'm starting to realize it takes a bit more planning than I had realized.

I've got a newfound respect for podcasters.

In this week's episode, I want to address a question or kind of a comment made on TikTok with one of my recent posts.

You're, you know, it's not going to be a big deal. Now, I'm not saying can go crazy and have 4,000 calories, but, you know, you go over your calorie limit by a couple of days or end up eating manse, it'll be fine.

But if you're doing this like every couple of days, that's a problem.

And I think this is sort of a two, twofold thing.

There's both what do you do when food is your go-to and when you're dealing with a problem?
