By Jessica Bacon“Use everything in moderation, including moderation.” I wanted to start off this post with a quote that’s simple but leads to an important message. Essentially we live in a world today where everyone compares themselves to one another, and we do not understand how dangerous this form of jealousy is. Just because on the outside they may look perfect doesn't mean on the inside that they have absolutely no insecurities and don't struggle with hardships and adversities. My interest to write about this topic and to share my thoughts came about when I overheard two girls talking at the gym, and one of them was reiterating the fact that this one girl she knew had absolutely no fat on her body and that she never ate anything bad for her. Eating healthy 100% of the time will drive one insane. Life is too short to starve yourself or only eat clean all the time. If anything find healthier versions of those guilty indulgences that bring a pure pleasure to your life. For example, I love Greek yogurt. I'm not sure why but I always have, and I always purchase delicious flavors of it. Greek yogurt provides a great source of protein and probiotics while staying lower in fat and calories. (Looks like a great dessert but strawberries on vanilla yogurt is my personal fave) To stay fit and "lean" you don't necessarily need to cut all of the food that you once enjoyed, rather eat them in moderation or find a healthier version. It may be fun to look super fit for your new Instagram picture, but you also have to remember the importance of enjoying life with those you love also. One slice of cake ever so often, or a couple of chips won't change your whole physique and make you fat, but if you do all the time, you won't love the way you look. That's why you should find the perfect balance in your life to not only stay sane but to also actually enjoy your life. Just a little message that I wanted to share for the week and to remind you that your mental health and overall happiness is as important as your physique!!! Hope you all enjoyed Halloween thoroughly and had a kick ass time with all of your friends!
