Does this make anyone else sad?

Question

I'm a teen and I often remember the good old days when I used to eat candy all the time, cookies and milk for breakfast, chocolates, anything basically and sometimes I wish I could go back. Now, even though junk food probably won't make me gain weight, I try to avoid it because I know it's not healthy. Part of me wants to just enjoy life and eat like I used to when I was a kid but the other half tells me that I'm getting older now and that I need to start thinking about my health for the future. Does anyone else feel the same way I do? I try to eat healthy during the week and then enjoy the weekends like I used to...is this a good idea?

Answer 1

As my nutrition science professor used to say," there is no such food as good or bad. Eat everything in moderation."
I think you are okay if you try to eat healthy during the week and give yourself a little treat on weekends. You might also want to exercises regularly. That would help. Good luck!

Answer 2

Same here, but you can still enjoy life without junk food. There are plenty of healthy foods that taste just as good. Also, since weight gain isn't a problem, you could allow yourself a treat every week or so if you really want to eat junk food again. It's not like you're being forced to eat healthily.

Answer 3

Make me sad? Hell it puts me in depression! lol Yes, I wish I could eat like I was a kid again.. unfortunately everything slows down when you get older and junk can no longer be part of your regular diet.. On the weekends, sure, splurge a little.. but dont over do it - just a small snack or treat here and there. good luck ;)

Answer 4

I feel the same way but Im not a teen now. I do the same too.

Answer 5

Enjoy life with a healthier, more mature body instead now :)
