I have adopted an 80/20 rule when it comes to my delicate relationship with food: 80 percent of the time, I make good choices; 20 percent of the time, I let myself splurge a little.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I live by the 80/20 rule: I'm 80 percent healthy, and then 20 percent indulgent.
I'm generous. I give good tips. It's just - the way I live my life, ironically enough, is: I don't want anything. I'm not a consumer. I don't crave objects.
When it comes to cooking and eating, I always try to preach that life is about moderation. Even if I'm having beef for dinner, it's probably going to be a 3-4 ounce portion with heaps and heaps of vegetables.
I love good food but I follow strict rules the days I perform.
It's hard to come into a new relationship with food unless you're engaged in an interactive way at an early age; it's hard to change your values.
I generally avoid temptation unless I can't resist it.
I make my own limits which are drawn according to my own taste.
I eat what I want but in moderation.
For me, the food I like to make is the food I can enjoy all the time anytime. It's not too calculated or technical.
The older I get, the harder it is to splurge without consequences. I love food. Chocolate and cheese and anything that's bad for me. I'll be really good when I'm at home so I can eat what I want to when I'm out with friends.
