Congratulations to all the women who are completely happy with themselves all the time. It's great that you're doing everything right. I'm sure you have very rich inner lives.
For me, being a human in this world is a bit more complicated. Of course a moderate diet with regular exercise is ideal. Of course we should be charitable and kind and hardworking and floss regularly and pay our bills on time and keep a clean house and read Chekhov and shave our legs consistently and a million other things. But I'm pretty sure that the day I actually managed to do everything right, the Lord would return and totally bump my big news to below the fold.
I believe that we must all "embrace our crazy" - we should acknowledge our imperfection and our pesky human frailty and laugh about it whenever possible. I think Ayelet's article speaks to the crazy in her life, and I applaud her for sharing it with us.
