Healthy Lifestyle

   Everyone wants to live a long and healthy life, but some people take this to the extreme. I guess it doesn't help that everywhere you look the media is screaming be thin, and some people head this call. These people decide to count their every calorie and work out everyday. I'm not docking work outs or even watching what you eat, my point is that everything in moderation is a good thing.
   It is a good idea to watch what you eat. Make sure you get all your food groups in and don't eat so much dessert that it makes you sick, but there is no need to calorie count. Eat what you feel like eating, and when you're full stop. It can be hard to eat sometimes when all of your friends seem to be trying to starve themselves, because they just don't seem to eat. Just because your friends are doing something, does not mean you have to do it to. Real friends won't judge you for that extra slice of pizza or second round at the buffet.
   If you want to be fit not only do you not have to work out everyday, but it is also recommended that you don't work out everyday. Whether it's to lose weight or to become stronger you need to give your muscles time to rest. If you overwork your muscles you may end up injuring yourself. As my mom always says, "You only have one life to live, if your going to spend it miserable why bother. What's the point in being excessively healthy if you're not happy."
   Seeing as my mom was the first person to show me how silly counting calories is I'm going to reiterate her main points for my conclusion. The whole point of dieting and calorie counting is to live a longer life, but if you can't enjoy that life, what's the point. The rest of her speech was pretty much saying how moronic it is and insert F word here, but the point still remains. Do what makes you happy. Eat what you want and exercise if you want to. As long as you can still do what you want to do and are mostly healthy then stop worrying. Over-working and under eating will only make you unhealthy so relax, sit back, and enjoy life.

Fun Stuff
Two of the background on my computer are Doctor Who versions of IPod commercials. The first one shows a dalek with an IPod and inscribed above it says, "IPod. To awesome to exterminate". he second one has the outline of the David Tenant doctor on a blue background also with an IPod visible in the shadow.  On this on it says, "IDoctor. Music for a new regeneration". My fellow Doctor Who fans should get a kick out of these.

To Eat or Not To Eat

  Most of us can guiltily admit to having a bad eating habit during at least one time in our life. The main difference between bad eating habits is why did they start? Was it a medical reason, lack of confidence, or laziness? The reasoning behind the eating habit makes all the difference.
   Sometimes when people feel sick food doesn't stay down. I don't know about you, but when I know the food is just going to come back up, I don't usually feel inclined to eat it. When people are sick I try not to get on their case for not eating properly. However, when people feel sick all the time they should still eat. If it's a curable disease do you seriously think starving yourself is going to make you feel better? Eat some food already!
   Some people skip meals because they 'don't have the time'. Pardon my language, but that's B.S. You may not have time to make a meal or even pick one up, but I'm sure you had at least one free minute yesterday. If you have a hectic day planned tomorrow, just shove a granola bar in the pocket of the jacket you are probably going to wear tomorrow. If you have a full ten minutes, pack a meal. Seriously it doesn't take that long, especially if you're a decisive person.
    I'm guilty of not eating, because of laziness and forgetfulness. Sometimes I get to school, look in my bag, and then realise there is no lunch. My house is a 10 minute walk from my school, and I don't like buying lunch, so I put myself in a dilema. Instead of making the stupid mistake of just not eating, like some people, I mooch food off my friends. I'm so lucky to have friends who will literally throw a granola bar at me when I say, "Guess who forgot a lunch again today". I don't even get to the asking. Sometimes they guess ahead of time and say, "I packed some extra food, did you forget your luch again?" I love you guys.
   Both over-eating and under-eating can be caused by low self esteem. These people are hoping to look better and become noticed. What they don't realise is that confidence is attractive not twig-like features. Whatever you look someone will find you attractive eventually. All you have to do is believe in yourself, and don't try to hard to change what you look like. I eat whatever I want, and am an average weight.
    There is almost no excuse for not eating. Healthy, unhealthy, something is better than nothing. It's still better to eat healthy, but by all means eat that second pudding. Like Wierd Al said once, "Just eat it"!
