I am certainly blessed with good genetics as far as my weight goes, I have a great metabolism that hasn’t slowed very much so far. I will confess that while I enjoy exercise for the health benefits, my ulterior motive for exercise is to treat calories with utter disdain. I don’t eat too much fattening food, but I exercise so that when I do, I can pretty much just sneer at that Big Mac without any form of remorse at all. I exercise so I don’t have to care about those two beer, those four mini chocolate bars, and that pound of butter I ate last night.

Nope, didn’t work.\u00c2\u00a0 I still ate it with a sneer.<\/p>\n
Sigh.\u00c2\u00a0 It’s a long road.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
