Great post as always.
The problem with ice cream is the body rejects exercise afterwards. Contrary, fruit & water, the body does want exercise.
Post exercise, after some time, some junk food is more agreeable. There is a certain order
My mother would put fruit on the table.
Us kids would ask: What is for dessert? She would say, the fruit is the dessert.
Now, I love fruit and seldom eat ice cream. As a growing child, I craved sweets and fat. I dreamed of gorging on pastries. A few years later, when I had the resources to engage in that excess, I had other priorities.
I like pastries now, but mostly avoid them, and don’t consider gorging on them.
The reason is I know if I eat without control, I would balloon up.
