I am eating healthy.

Present tense, which is the useful part. Not a plan, not a streak to be defended — just the meal actually in front of you.

A sandwich on a Tuesday, eaten at a desk, no ceremony involved. That's the entire event. It doesn't need to belong to a system to count for something.

Streaks turn every meal into a referendum on the ones before it. Making decent food today isn't a verdict on last week and doesn't have to answer for it. It's lunch. It's good. Then it's over.
