REACTIONS TO HEALTHY EATING
- She does not want to live her life centered around food
-
- Doesn’t lecture others on how to eat or justify her way of eating
- She and Vinnie both don’t explain to others because people, uninformed, try to fight back
- Don’t engage with people if they won’t listen – they’re likely jealous, or too addicted to carbs
- You don’t need to justify your healthy eating to anyone else
- If it works for you, do it!
- Make your health your top priority – NOT making other people feel good about how you eat
- Don’t let others pressure you into eating crap in social situations
