Well, I was reading Kris Carr's website and felt motivated again to eat healthy and fast and juice. That was about 30 minutes ago. Now I feel like my lunch is going to consist of coffee. Just coffee. I'm so bad at life. But then I feel like people are constantly saying things along the lines of "stop having a stick up your ass, live life, have a Brownie (thanks Bliss Spa), have lots of wine (thanks parents), have our signature mojito and 3 set lunches and coffee (thanks PRs), go on vacation," blah blah. But then here's Kris Carr's website telling me "live life as long as you eat bland and raw, try fasting, rock it out girl!, don't stress!, be anal about food or you'll die a horrible death some time too soon, ok have fun!" So I dunno... this is causing me a lot of stress, know what I mean?

I know there's a way to reconcile it all but I can't be bothered to figure it all out.

Well I think it will always involve a choice... since the two lifestyles are so incompatible, I think your dilemma is striking a balance between what you view as being sufficient to lead a healthy lifestyle and "living life to the fullest"... or "carpe diem" in a pleasuring one's taste buds sort of way... u know?

But you know what I think proves the two lifestyles aren't compatible? (apart from the obvious like smoking is relaxing but is also a slow way to kill oneself, etc...) The fact that the most expensive food on the planet isn't necessarily the healthiest. Like fois gras, truffles and caviar! NOT the healthiest food ever. And I'm not sure they're eaten purely for taste--like I'm not sure that they're addictive in a chocolate brownie, can't-stop-till-I-drop kind of way.

2 other things that never held much appeal for me: wine and coffee. I honestly think culinarily(?) i'm a complete child. I missed out that stage in adolesence when i was meant to develop a palette for these supposedly adult things... feeling drunk has no appeal to me and coffee isn't always drunk to jack oneself up, so to me those things just taste BITTER!

Eat healthy on weekdays. Indulge on weekends. Exercise regularly. Or since you eat at restaurants a lot for your job, you should choose one meal where you can indulge for that day and eat little/healthy for the other two meals.
