Being Paleo According to Parks and Rec

I finally emotionally prepared myself to watch the final season of Parks and Rec, and I'm sorry to report no amount of emotional preparation could have made Leslie's final farewell any easier (mostly kidding). So in honor of the TV magic that Parks and Rec made for the last 7 seasons here are 8 gifs that describe what exactly it is to be Paleo(ish).

The first time somebody told you about the Paleo diet and you were like

Mostly because you thought you couldn't have good things like bacon and butter...but then you found out you totally can

So you decided to give it a try, but for the first two weeks all you wanted was bread, or dairy, or anything that wasn't healthy

But you got through those first two weeks like a champ, and you know what you feel pretty awesome

The best part is you are actually encouraged to eat more food, which is great because you are like always hungry

You try to get your roommate to go Paleo but she's all

Mostly because you finally convinced her to try kale and she still frequently brings up the time you betrayed her trust with a vegetable

But ya know somedays you need a cheat day, and that's okay because a life without ice cream is just not a life worth living
