and not by pushing your opinions and judgements on others...


As a christian man i have always believed the best way to win people over to what I believe is the right way is by example and not by beating them over the head with bible verses or telling them how wrong they are.. I've always been one to get to know anyone willing or wanting to know me and just be me around them and hope that my better character traits ( as opposed to my not so good ones) rub off.. well i realized that this should work in ever aspect of life even when it comes to fitness. We shouldnt go around telling people how unhealthy their habits are and looking down on them because in most cases we were once where they are.. I was and to a degree still am a horrible sugar addict loading my body with junk food so i have no place to judge anyone.. And so it is with this site lets not judge those who do what we think is "wrong" if you are really soo concerned befriend them, get to know them and lead by example...
