[...] Today is one of those days I’d rather just lie about what I had to eat. I ate very few vegetables. I went to Wendy’s. I didn’t make much of my dinner. I finished the day with popcorn and homemade ice cream. Oh well! It was a great day and it’s life. For more on my food philosophy read Real vs. REALity. [...]

Don’t know if you get late comments, Jenn, but I LOVE this post. So many things about it I could relate to. Wanting to do everything, but realizing its not possible in this lifetime. I actually want a goat someday, but mostly just because they are so darn cute. I make my own yogurt, but like someone said in the comments, just because its so fun. Well, it does taste pretty amazing too. And the bit about not being able to eat just a handful of m&m’s so you haven’t had one in over two years. Well, that’s just the best! I haven’t gone two years without them, but I often think about why I don’t eat chocolate chip cookies more often. And that is why. As good as they are, its just easier without them…

Hiya – Deb sent me, and I’ve been getting caught up but had to post here.

I felt the same way about this article – like it was a backwards way of telling people “Don’t even TRY to eat real food. It’s too hard.” It did SUCH a disservice and, frankly, made me really mad.

Is it a crazy experiment to eat “real?” No – it’s totally doable, but in a modern world you shouldn’t expect people to churn their own butter.

Like everything, there is a spectrum and every move towards more real is a good move.

Oh I love this post! I feel such GUILT when I buy shredded cheese or canned beans or a fancy baguette. I need to give myself more credit too. Considering I work one full time job and two part time jobs, I am doing ok for myself!

Thank you for sharing your thoughts on this topic! I LOVE LOVE LOVE your blog and your approach to life!

awesome post girl! i love your thoughtful comments on everything…and most of all love that pic of the goat likcing your ear hahaah…one thing my BF and i talk abotu all the time is balance-with life, friends, food, work, everything…balance is the key to life…you should never beat yourself up from eating badly for one day when the next day you can be 100% back to healthy again…if you spend too much tiome with your boyfriend, youi know its time to see some of your girlfriends or vice versa. Its what life is about!

For me its all about balance, I try to lead a healthy lifestyle as much as I can!

Awwwwww the goat is so cute!! Love the pic!!

So funny you got sushi too !!! Where are the pics??

Im sure your sushi was amazing too!! I treat myself to sushi like that once a month, sometimes twice if special occasion, but Mike and I try to only go out to eat once a month, thats it, makes it more enjoyable too, plus eating out these days , it’s expensive, portions are way huge, etc…

Love ya!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
