Why?

I get asked/told the following things on a regular basis:

You can take a break from your diet just this once, can't you?
Why don't you eat normal food?
Oh, I forgot, you eat hippie food.
Why do you run all the time?  Isn't it boring?
You exercise every day; why don't you eat whatever you want?
Boy, you sure are rigid in your eating, aren't you?


I could go on and on, listing all of the things people say to me because of what I choose to eat and how I choose to exercise.  To answer all of those questions, here is why I do what I do:



And it's not just about what I look like on the outside--it's the difference on the inside, too.  You may not be able to see it, but the smile on the right is actual happiness, not a smile because someone is taking a picture.

Why do I do all my diet and exercise stuff?  Because I am happier and feel better than ever.  In 2003 I was miserable.

Why would I want to go back to miserable?
