Not counting calories or weighing yourself

and focusing instead on making reasonably healthy, self-compassionate, consistent choices and moving your body in ways that make you feel good. We’re assaulted with numbers, data, and metrics everywhere else in life why let it creep into your relationship with food and your body!!! It takes time and practice to do this right and find balance without descending into total uninhibited hedonism but it can be freeing to live this way. Controversial perhaps…

EATING ON INTUTION

"intermittent fasting" aka hyperfixating on work for so long that lunch becomes 3 pm without consciously noticing + french 76s and marlboro 27s thru the weekend + midnight cheeseburgers + biotin supplements + pedialyte + advil as needed

Not making a healthy version of every food

This is going to be a long one, so if you don't want to read the whole thing, basically this is just why I will never, ever, eat brown rice sushi. I love PB&Js, and one of the ways I make myself feel better about that is by making a "healthy" version. I don't add any new steps or ingredients – I just use whole wheat bread, organic peanut butter, and jelly with no added sugar. And it tastes wonderful. Sure, it's more expensive than a regular kid-friendly PB&J, but no more expensive than a lot of other healthy dishes. My point is, I get why people want to make healthier versions of their favourite foods. But some things just aren't meant to be healthy. Take ramen, for instance. Instant ramen is a true indulgence, a beast of convenience and modernity, so detached from anything resembling cuisine, but it tastes so fucking good, and isn't the artificiality of it part of the charm? Restaurant ramen, on the other hand, is a delicacy, probably made by someone who has been doing it their entire life. If you get it at the right place, at least. And then, for some reason, I see people making "healthy" homemade ramen. What are you accomplishing with that? You're not going to get the richness or luxuriousness you could get at a restaurant, or the pure, uncut satiation of the instant stuff. It's the worst of both worlds. You're spending tons of time and money on a simulacrum. What a waste. So, if you feel tempted to follow some recipe you found online for healthy fish and chips, ask yourself if it's really worth it. With the time, money, and energy you spend on it, why not try making a new recipe? Chances are, you could make something just as healthy with the same or similar ingredients, that isn't just a bastardization. Think of all the amazing healthy dishes you never learned to make, never tried, because the prospect of healthy fish and chips was so enticing. It sounded too good to be true, and it was, and now you're probably one step closer to giving up on health food forever. This is getting far too long so I'll leave you with a paraphrase of Hank Hill. "You're not making healthy eating better; you're just making your favourite food worse."
