Me. I used to be very athletic. Now, as I've gotten older, my body is breaking down. I'm pretty sure I have arthritis in my hip and shoulder. Fairly positive that all the running, diving, sliding, jumping, without worrying about what it's doing to me had an effect on me.

I weigh myself every day to make sure my weight doesn't get out of hand. I weigh about 205. If I get to 210, then I will go to the gym. Burn what I need and then that's it. I tell myself I need to go more and am interested in it, but once I start, I just don't like lifting weights. It's not fun. It's not interesting. I just don't like it.

I don't eat insanely. I don't eat very large portions. But as far as the food goes and the ingredients, I'll admit is probably not the best in the world.

I shift back and forth between terrible eating habits and just ok eating habits.

At work, I climb a lot of stairs. I bend and squat and walk a lot if we're busy. So there's that.

Me. God granted me a maintenance-free body, but I still can't shake my disdain for the fatties.

After being an expat for several years (I highly recommend that), I return to my beloved State to find a mass of gas station-chitlin eating fatties, with no regard for their health, which drives up my insurance premiums (actually not really because my Tricare insurance is heavily subsidized by the tax payers), but you understand the point.
