Don't Give Food POWER

My WW @ Work Leader said something very interesting yesterday.
*Yes, my weigh-ins are on Mondays...such a terrible weigh-in day, but that's a topic for another post.
People kept saying "I was BAD" last week and ate ________ during the meeting.
The leader continued to scold people, "Don't get into the habit of 'good' and 'bad.' Food is just an inanimate object. Don't give it that much power."
I found a lot of truth in that and have been contemplating it ever since.
I have been giving food power for SO long. I let my slip-ups make me feel guilty. I get angry when someone is eating fried cheese while I munch on a salad. It's JUST food.
My relationship with food has been wrong. It shouldn't be the one in control...I should!
I'm in control...Not the food.
