I feel like I’m constantly at war with myself. Specifically, the war between the person I want to be—which is a lean, green, jogging machine—and the person I actually am, which is a potato sitting on the couch.

I go to the grocery store with a mission statement. I write it down. I have a list. "Kale," "Quinoa," "Almond Milk." I feel like a Spartan general preparing for a siege. I walk in with confidence. I’m going to buy healthy food, cook a delicious dinner, and feel virtuous.

By the time I get to the checkout, my hands are clutching a family-sized bag of Cheetos and a rotisserie chicken that was probably cooked in the parking lot.

It’s the packaging, man. It is psychological warfare. You see a box that says "Smartfood." That sounds like something a genius would eat. But it’s just popcorn with too much salt. And "Reduced Fat." If it’s reduced fat, they didn’t take the fat out. They just took the flavor out and put the fat back in. That’s just how physics works.

And then there’s the produce section. I look at a head of romaine lettuce for four dollars, and I look at the frozen pizza for six dollars. I’m not buying food; I’m buying expensive water. I’m basically paying for a salad to remind myself how broke I am.

But you know what? I’ve stopped lying to myself. I tried to be healthy last week. I did a "detox." All I did was drink lemon water and stare at a wall for three hours.

I realized that being an adult isn’t about eating kale. Being an adult is realizing that french fries taste better than the way you look in a swimsuit. And that is the only victory that matters.
