I am pretty bad at eating healthy sometimes. I LOVE rich, greasy, delicious food. I could eat a cheeseburger and fries everyday for lunch and then follow-up it up with a steak for dinner. Okay, probably not. But it feels like it sometimes.
Luckily, I also have a desire to be healthy and skinny as well. This desire gets me to the gym everyday, has me running half-marathons every year, and basically works as my conscience for when I'm about to drive to In and Out and order a Double Double.
The thought of eating a salad for lunch makes me sad, but I want to be healthier today, so I'm doing it. I've come to realize that the old quote, "nothing tastes as good as being skinny feels" doesn't apply to me. I learned this after a brief conversation with a 24 Hour Fitness Instructor:
Me: What do you eat everyday to stay so in-shape?
24 Guy: Eating is the key to staying in-shape. I make a huge batch of grilled chicken and brown rice on Sunday and I eat it throughout the week with fresh steamed veggies.
Me: You eat that everyday? Do you ever eat out or switch it up?
24 Guy: Not really. Sometimes I eat fish.
Me: Burgers?
24 Hour Guy: Nope.
Me: Pizza?
24 Guy: No way!
Me: Coke?
24 Guy: No, I just drink water all day. I don't even drink juice.
Me: I hate you.
24 Guy: I have a six pack.
Me: ...Touche

Some people eat to live, others live to eat. You and I are the latter. That's what makes us such great, fun, and interesting people. Those who eat to live have been statistically proven to be the most boring people on the Planet.
