Hi Jennie – that’s such a breath of fresh air – sometimes people feel like if they’re not 100% – they’re nothing. Which is so un-healthy!
I love that you are honouring your own body and your own health!
I couldn’t agree more with the points you made, Militza. For me, there is often a sense of guilt that arise when I feel like I’m not doing enough to be green or to have a healthy lifestyle etc. But I am learning to just enjoy life while cherry-picking the small healthier changes I want to make just for today. For many people, making a single healthier choice beats no change at all. 🙂
Hi Evon, thanks for sharing – I know that so many of us feel this way! It’s good to remember to not take life so seriously and to keep having fun! 🙂
I couldn’t agree more. I sometimes have this struggle with myself. I have to step back and think, am I actually going to agonize about whether this is organically grown, or not? I think ultimately when we eat accordingly to how our body reacts (like how I feel sick and produce lots of phlegm when I consume dairy), it’s the best advice we can follow. Everything else should be taken in moderation, including moderation. We all need a little salt and sugar in our lives, and I think that’s fine.
Hi Charmaine – I think that’s the key – you’re listening to your own body and not just the advice someone tells you to follow. My husband appears to thrive on milk, but like you, I can’t consume too much. People are different and we should honour our own body. Thanks so much for sharing!
Funny, speaking of perfection, I was just reading this an hour ago, & it resonated with my sense of striving constantly for perfection and perpetual dissatisfaction:
hope you enjoy it ! I fully agree with eating what feels good too, went through a similar thought process a while back & I’m slowly learning to listen to my body (: there’s the good-pleasure that makes me feel sick, & the good-delicious that makes me feel light and wonderful !
love & warmth,

I love this article because you are so right. I have a precondition which makes me more careful about my food but I think I love food too much to live in fear. So while I do avoid the unavoidable, nibble skimpily on the slightly dangerous and gorge on the safe, I indulge in small doses so I still feel like food is a joy and not a chore.
Especially love strawberries, balsamic vinegar & spinach combo. BTW, were you are Parkway Parade on Friday as I saw someone who I thought looked like you but I was too shy to intrude.
Hi Duncerblur! I think you’re so right to listen to your body – to find your own balance and to enjoy the path that makes you feel your best. And while you keep having fun with food – it opens up so much creativity. It’s when we start to see it like a chore that we lose something.
Yes – I was at Parkway!! Ah, I wish you did come say hi – it would have made my day :))
