Wow, I didn’t realize how many posts I need to catch up on. I have Superbowl recipes, my birthday celebration, a couple road trips, workouts, and meals to do. I’ll start with the most recent, my lunch date at Olive Garden. When I posted this photo on my Instagram, I got a little uproar from some followers and that is okay! Everyone is entitled to their own opinions and sometimes negative comments help me make better decisions in the long run. I feel like these comments are occurring more frequently, so I just wanted to make some things clear.
We need to remember that no one is perfect. Your diet, your hair, your body, or whatever you are trying to accomplish will never be perfect. You can argue me and say I’m wrong. That’s okay; I’m used to it. But if you think you are perfect or believe others are, you’re lying to yourself or being lied to. You need to be realistic. Fix what you can and embrace what you can’t. Olive Garden is one of my favorite restaurants. Yeah…it’s not great for you, but neither is depriving yourself from the things you love. I’m a normal human being and shouldn’t have to defend myself because over something I chose to eat.
You can go to restaurants like Olive Garden once in a while and still eat light. Whenever I go, I get the minestrone soup and unlimited salad. There is nothing wrong with that! I usually have a couple bowls of soup, tons of salad, and a breadstick or two! And if I’m feeling frisky, I’ll order an appetizer or a glass of wine. To me, that is definitely not a diet killer, and especially when I’m not trying to lose weight. Yeah, the sodium is high, but that’ll go away in a couple days, or in a sweat session. I like to eat realistically. I try my hardest to eat clean, but if I can’t, I don’t let it ruin my day. I’ve done the whole “oh my gosh, I will not touch that” or “how many calories are in that” and it didn’t work. That is just silly and no way to live. I do respect comments and opinions on my Instagram, but sometimes I will just ignore it. Sorry, but it’s the truth. If you are on a journey to be perfect…good luck! I hear it’s a never ending one!
If you ever want to eat something, do it because YOU choose to. Don’t let the influence of others get in your way. It’s your life, your body, and your choice. You can’t please everyone.
