What We Eat
"Tell me what you eat, and I will tell you what you are."
~Anthelme Brillat-Savarin~
If we skip breakfast and grab fast food for lunch, what do we think of ourselves? If we eat a dinner of popcorn and soda while standing over the sink, what do we think of ourselves? If we repeatedly gorge ourselves on the comfort foods of our youth, what do we think of ourselves?
What and how we eat says a lot about us - and how we feel. We do not have to treat ourselves badly, eating food that neither nourishes nor delights us. We can change what and how we eat - and, in the process, what we think of ourselves.
I will respect myself - and take care of my body - by eating appropriately and enjoying what I eat.
My thoughts: I don't think this is as black and white as this entry makes it seem. It's okay to eat bad food; just don't do it all the time. You should be able to enjoy what you eat. But you do only have one body, and the better of shape it's in, the better you will feel, and your quality of life will increase. Enjoy food, but don't become gluttonous.
