This is so dead on right.

Amazing when it clicks, isn’t it!

As you would say to yourself, “Awesome.” Really, this is a great philosophy and a great post. I think that they way you’re eating this burger, with veggies and fruit, probably makes it a lot more satisfying too.

I’m trying to do similar things. Perfectionism is a big thing for me too.

I couldn’t agree with you more.

And to be truthful, unless it involves a serious allergy or something, to go the rest of your life without having a cheeseburger is far from a perfect life. I think it should be okay to find some pleasure with our food. It’s when we use food unwisely, like using food to handle stress or to replace the emptiness in our lives, then it’s detrimental to our overall health. Besides, I find so often when I give into needy cravings that the drive-thru fries really were never that great to begin with. It’s always so very anti-climatic. The stress is still there. So is the emptiness.

Perfectionism robs us of life’s simple pleasures.

Funny thing, looking at that picture, the grapes and the carrots look the most appetizing to me (and I heart In-N-Out).
