[quote=Anonymous]Diet controls how much you weigh. Exercise controls how your body looks at any given weight. I got rid of my fitness tracker because it was making me neurotic. It was better for me to think of exercise as a tool to make better choices with food. I try to run for about an hour each day. I'm pretty slow, so I cover maybe 4-5 miles during that hour. But during that hour, I'm NOT sitting on my butt watching Netflix. I'm NOT snacking just to be snacking. I'm doing something that makes me feel strong and accomplished, which improves my mood. So later I'm not emotion-eating. And after the run and a good stretch, I DON'T want to stuff my face with pizza and beer -- nothing tastes better than a cool, juicy piece of fruit and plenty of water. Those few hundred calories burned leads to many times that in overall healthier lifestyle choices, and it's the food I'm NOT eating that's allowing me to drop the weight. [/quote]
