For the longest time, I thought being “healthy” meant cutting out sugar, seed oils, and every so-called “bad” food. I thought I was doing the right thing by keeping my family and myself safe. But guess what? I wasn’t getting healthier.
The Problem with “All or Nothing” Thinking
Here’s what my life looked like back then:
- Skipping treats and then overindulging later. I’d avoid sweets for weeks, only to binge on them during a moment of stress.
- Yo-yo dieting. My weight was constantly up and down, making me feel stuck in a cycle.
- Feeling out of control. Weekends turned into free-for-alls because I felt deprived all week.
And the worst part? My kids were watching. They saw me stress over food, avoid certain things, and eat “guilt” meals. That wasn’t the example I wanted to set.
What’s Actually Healthy?
It took me a while, but I realized: health isn’t about banning foods; it’s about balance. A cookie won’t ruin your health. Neither will an occasional fried snack. It’s what you do consistently that matters.
Here’s what healthy living looks like now:
- No food is off-limits. I enjoy treats mindfully instead of avoiding them entirely.
- Whole foods first. Most of our meals are made with fresh, nourishing ingredients like fruits, vegetables, and proteins.
- Small indulgences are okay. Dessert here and there? Yes, please. Without guilt!
- Health is more than food. I focus on movement, mental well-being, and spending quality time with loved ones.
