Why do you keep exercising and eating healthy?

Physical benefits, health benefits, or both?

I eat healthy because it makes me feel better throughout the day. I find myself with more energy and just feel better about myself as a whole.

I exercise so I can eat more and also because I want to look good.

I keep on doing it because I enjoy the extra attention (not just men) and I like feeling confident.

I never thought my body could feel this good! I went from being overweight, unhappy with myself, and tired and sluggish on a daily basis. I thought that was just how people felt. I will never go back to my old habits because I feel so amazing when I'm fueling my body with the right foods. Looking better is just an added bonus!

I agree. I thought how i felt before i ate clean and didnt exercise was normal - tired all the time, lazy, no motivation, low self esteem. I was seriously wrong!

I keep exercising because in a way I have become addicted to it. I love the way I feel when I'm done working out. I eat healthy because it feels great to have power over food when so many others let food have power over them.

I love seeing my body change. I seem to enjoy life more. I love going places with my hubby more now than ever. I don't constantly worry that people are looking at me. Shopping for clothes is A LOT more fun.
I still have about 25 more lbs to go, but every day I tell myself my weight is only going down from here. That's an awesome feeling. I love having control over my life!

... and I'm addicted to MFP. I think I get on MFP more than Facebook.

I like the endorphins from exercise - nothing beats feeling sweaty, tired and hyped all at the same time. The sense of achievement is a real confidence booster. I enjoy eating well because it gives me energy and I no longer feel exhausted and contstantly chasing the next sugger hit to give me energy. I sleep better, moods are better regulated and my skin glows.

Sugger? Really?

I keep doing it because I have told myself there is no other way. This is the way I'm going to eat for the rest of my life, so I've adapted to it. I eat pretty much anything I want and am never hungry and am losing consistently.

I keep exercising because I need the strength and it keeps me from being in pain from not moving. I keep trying to lose weight because I'm scared about my blood pressure and I don't like the sensation of my rolls of skin touching each other. It's hard to stay motivated, sometimes, though. That's where MFP comes in.

It makes me happier and more positive, and helps heaps with my anxiety.
