    So are you saying you get laid more at 8% body fat than say 14%?

    I never got laid at either... True story.

    I have spent the better part of the last year and a half being very rigid in my diet and exercise. It was what I needed to get to where I am now. I still have work to do but I'm at the point that I realize that I can't continue like this and enjoy my life like I'd like to. So I am now learning balance. I'm learning that having ice cream occasionally is not going to kill me or make me fat. That I can take a day off from exercise without repercussions. Bottom line is life is meant to be lived and enjoyed. I want to be fit and happy and I'm working on finding the balance for both. I'm going to be the best and happiest me I can be regardless of what bf% I end up at.

    I like this article. I am one that maintains a lean physique easily and healthfully when I take the steps to work at it. I am happy where I am at. There is also room for improvement and I work on that, but I'm not going to be obsessive about it and I am going to appreciate and enjoy where I am at (a very healthy place).
