So, this fit bitch...

Day 27: How do you deal with being around food?

I eat it. I mean, damn. What do you do around food?

You will always be around food that is bad for you. Parties, holidays, work functions, vacations, going out to eat. I mean, food is everywhere - you just have to deal. You don’t need those free candies out at work all the time. You don’t need an appetizer or dessert. You don’t need to eat so much food you need to unbutton your jeans.

If you’re going to eat something high calorie, it better taste fucking DELICIOUS. A fast food meal? Not worth it whatsoever. But a really well prepared meal that you’ll remember? That is worth the rare calorie bust.

It’s okay to indulge. Really. It is. I swear it will not ruin all the hard work you put in the other 6 days that week.

Be on your game 80% of the time. Eat well, workout regularly, get sleep, drink water. That other 20% of your time is used to indulge in booze, celebrations, unhealthy treats, etc. Being good the majority of your time means that being a fatty rarely will not affect you negatively.

Have a cheat day, not a cheat month. Skip a workout, not a whole week. When you build these into your routine, you’re being realistic and preparing for a lifestyle. No one eats perfectly every single day of their life, you can’t expect it. So for your sanity and pleasure, don’t deny yourself unhealthy foods you love, just deny yourself the daily indulgence of them.
