Being Healthy is a Piece of Cake.
The most terrifying thing is
to accept oneself completely.
Carl Jung
Ever have someone come back from lunch and tell you they were soooo bad today? You may think they robbed a bank or stole a car, right? Turns out they had dessert after lunch. A cookie, a brownie, maybe a piece of cheesecake. Does that make them a bad person? Absolutely not! What you eat does not make you good or bad. Nor does one food item ruin your healthy eating mission. Some people will throw in the towel after an episode like this. They think they’re hopeless because they gave in. Consider what you eat for an entire week. Yes, it’s recommended you eat 5-9 fruits and vegetables each day. If you miss a day of vegetables it’s no big deal, just as if you eat a cookie it’s no big deal. Stop feeling guilty and get back on track. Hopefully you enjoyed the dessert and didn’t scarf it down before anyone could see you. Get over it, you ate a cookie, you didn’t walk out on your lunch bill, right?
