  Cheat vs Treat

  http://caloriecount.about.com/cheat-treat-b416768-1?obref=obinsite: You cannot feel like you’re in diet prison because that just leads binging and throwing in the towel. You have to feel like you have the right – and the power – to eat whatever you want; however, the trick is to shape your WANTS to be for wholesome foods most of the time. Over time, you learn to identify tasty foods that are low in calories or at least have nutrient profiles in proportion to their calorie counts. If your day-to-day food is very tasty and satisfying, you will yearn for a “cheat” less often. In my opinion, the best “cheat” is the one that you really love, that tastes out-of-this-world, and is enjoyed s-l-o-w-l-y. Realizing that there isn't much room in the diet for high calorie foods with little nutritional value, you will fine-tune your discriminatory thinking to become very choosy about the foods you let in. If you start to eat something indulgent and it doesn’t taste great, then why bother? Stop right there. But it’s important to learn about the calories in food so that you can make informed choices.

  fit/healthy vs vanity.

  melaniem67: "Is your goal to be fit as in HEALTHY or fit as in BUFF? Is it merely to achieve a healthy body or is it also (perhaps even MORE) important to you to be ripped? "To me, fitness is the state of having a healthy, strong body – with plenty of energy and endurance and has nothing to do with showing a lot of muscle. Make sure you understand what it is you want and why and that will go a long way toward giving you the motivation you need." interesting. for me, i do wanna look Lady Gaga body-hot. but i won't get too stressed out if i can't be. just be good with diet and exercise as a lifestyle, not a one-off event and see where it leads me. i did ponder about the quality of life vs spending so much time in the gym to look "hot" superficially/for others. there is a fine line between being your best (ie not snackin on junk food, discipline etc) you could be and neglecting important stuff over vanity.
