Nothing caps a good meal like a good dessert. I love dessert, especially if it is delicious. My wife and I drive to our favorite patisserie on the last Sunday of each month to have breakfast, and yes, we have dessert. It is worth the calories, and we are so full we usually skip lunch.
When I tell people this, I get strange reactions.
- Reaction #1: How can you have dessert for breakfast?
- Answer #1: It has less sugar than most cereals, lattes, etc. Also, I do this once a month, not every day.
- Answer #2: Is there actually a rule for dessert?
- Reaction #2: How do the macros fit with your diet plan?
- Answer: I do not care. It is a date with my wife at a fantastic restaurant. The experience with my wife and the food is more important than my diet. I am still fit and strong. My diet is on track. I base my actions on the priorities of the moment: the time with my wife and the opportunity to enjoy fantastic food. If I work hard to maintain my diet throughout my day, I can have this wonderful experience without guilt or worry. In the end, I am thriving on all fronts.
- Reaction #3: Where is the patisserie? (the best question of the three)
- Answer: Sweet Melissa’s, Lebanon, NJ
Life should not be about doing things that others want or expect. Life should be about doing what you want regardless of others’ norms.
