I disagree. While being healthy is important to me, so is enjoying food every once and a while. Most people I know hate the process of weight loss and just sit around eating their quinoa and imagining it was anything else. I prefer to take things a little slower and have an awesome meal every once and a while, and sometimes part of the enjoyment is eating something you really shouldn't. I love going to Wendy's, but that doesn't mean I go full baconator combo. If someone is watching their calories and looks at the nutritional info, it's quite clear that there are paths you can take that won't end with you hammering back 1500 calories in a single sitting.

I should stress that eating and weight isn't something I struggle with. I'm able to eat something terrible for me and not have it spiral out of control. Some people unfortunately don't have that luxury, so my opinions of course aren't for everybody.
