[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's also very noticeable, because teams will often want to go out after work to happy hours and other social functions. Those functions often involve booze, crappy junk bar and finger foods, and just totally unnecessary calorie intake overall.  Someone trying to maintain their fitness levels will skip those events. But then teammates hold it against them for 'not being team players' simply because a person doesn't want to constantly surround themselves with booze and garbage foods. [/quote]

Why not just go and have a seltzer? That way you’re being sociable and sticking to your nutritional standards. [/quote]

Yeahhhhh.....let me waste 2.5 hours with my team after work all so I can sit around and drink seltzer a skip all of the trash food like sliders, wings, and fries. No thanks. I have a workout to do rather than waste my time getting obese and ruining my liver.[/quote]

NP - haven't you ever heard of putting in face time? You go, drink seltzer, hang out for 30-45 minutes, then say you have evening plans and have to go but it was great hanging out with everyone. [/quote]

The point is that being fit requires a complete overhaul of mind before body. It requires discipline, which comes in the form often times of not surrounding yourself with toxic environments that contain things like booze and super high fat junk foods where the smells and visuals alone can overwhelm impulse control.  You wouldn't understand it unless you've worked tremendously hard to overhaul your lifestyle to put your health and fitness first.  They have done many studies showing that junk foods are even more addictive than even cocaine.  Why would you even want face time in such an environment to drink seltzer while still being surrounded by toxic food choices? [/quote]
Meh. I’m fit. Eat mostly healthy. But yes, I do indulge in “toxic” delicious food, especially when socializing.  You seem to have a very black/white thinking about food. [/quote]
