I have a good mature outlook on eating. I eat a lot of plant based, but also eat meat occasionally. It helps me keep balanced by not obsessing over it.

Generally I feel it is good to avoid processed foods.
 
I wish I had the restraint to be as disciplined as you. I ate a meat feat pizza for lunch today and feel dreadful for it.
 
I'm struggling with impulse control when depression hits. I can't stop myself, it's like my brain turns off and I try to find something, anything to give me a good feeling to counter the depression. I hate the feeling afterwards, because it's never good foods I eat, it's always, always rubbish.
