Summer is here yet again and the temptation to treat me to many things including food is knocking at my door. I feel like summer is the worst with all the sweets and drinks being shoved in my face (yes all the sweetwaters donuts from Michigan).

But I have realized that my confidence and happiness comes before counting my calories most days. I do track what I eat don't get me wrong, but this summer I have just realized that some times I don't need to worry about everything that involves food because my brain needs to focus on other important things at a time.

But that doesn't mean I'm going to treat my body like a garbage can, it just means that it's okay to treat myself to ice cream or wine after a long night of working my host job. I shouldn't have to feel guilty all of the time of what desserts or carbs I'm putting into my body, even though both of those categories are my weakness. What's not to love about Olive Garden's breadsticks and pasta anyways?

I guess my approach to this may not be the same to everyone else and that's ok. But I want others to know that it's ok to not feel like they need to eat salads all the time, heck I don't eat salads at all, like any. Not to say that you should or shouldn't be eating salads, but I feel like salads get classified as always being the healthiest and the best for you but with all the added toppings and dressings, it's actually not. But I do hope that I am able to find some healthy options that will help me in the long run, but for now, I will be treating myself to an ice cream sandwich!
