If you have to quit your job in order to stay fit, then you aren't really interested in staying fit. A poor diet and lack of exercise isn't dependent on your work status.[/quote]

It's easier to exercise if you don't have to work around that pesky 50 hour job + commute commitment though, plus more time to cook healthy meals.[/quote]
I don't know why people keep saying that cooking healthy meals takes longer. All you have to do is shop and plan ahead. If you're comparing it to ordering pizza or bringing home fast food, then you're right...but that's a you problem.  Also, just because something is EASIER, doesn't mean it's impossible...you just have to make it a priority. Even with a FT job and commute and child care, most people can find a few hours per week to get some exercise. And, it's not the lack of exercise that makes most people fat, it's their diet and food choices. It's just easier for people to say, "I don't have time to exercise 1 hour each day" and accept being fat. The fact is that most people actually don't have the time or energy to exercise each day but making good food choices takes little to no time. You just have to plan ahead.[/quote]

Planning meals and shopping from a list does take time, as much as you wish it didn't. Yes, you have to make it a priority but it does take time.[/quote]

Okay enough with the excuses. It takes 3 minutes to make a written grocery list. You have to go to the grocery store to survive snywsy, so it takes the same amount of time whether you're shopping in the Doritos aisle or the produce aisle. When y'all are vegetating in front of the TV on a Sunday, throw some meals for the week together. A crock pot meal can be healthy and takes minimal effort. On that Sunday, portion out some foods for the week ahead into Tupperware or bags in the amounts you need to make things. It is really not this tremendous undertaking you're making it out to be and you sound kinda ridiculous. [/quote]
