Quote by Erma Bombeck: “Seize the moment. Remember all those women on the 'Titanic' who waved off the dessert cart.”

This quote humorously reminds us to enjoy life's pleasures and not postpone joy. It encourages living in the present, suggesting that opportunities, like a dessert cart, might not come around again, so we should indulge when we can.

By the early 1990s, the focus on diet culture was pervasive, and Bombeck continued to use humor to critique societal pressures, encouraging readers to enjoy life's simple pleasures rather than constant self-deprivation.
