i didn’t go to the gym yesterday because i was bestowed with an ailment. as a result, i had convinced myself that i could not have a sweet treat, until i remembered that i don’t have to earn the cookie i was craving. depriving myself of something just because i had not “earned“ it is such a toxic mentality that is normalised within today’s culture.
eating in moderation is more than fine, depriving yourself pleasures and basic needs is not.
