Reasons to exercise

When your brain is trying desperately to talk you out of exercising here are some things I think of to motivate me.

I'll get to eat a little more tonight.

personally i think thats the worse reason.

it is if you can't control yourself........thats why it's my motivation and not yours. I recognize you from other forum posts so I am not surprised you didn't have anything positive to say

I do suppose i should have elebaorated more on that statement

i have lots of postive things to say and lots of postive reasons i exercise.
to get in shape
better cardiovascular health
to look good!!!!

but in my opinion and you know i said personally. to exercise to eat more, just feels like an unhealthy relationship to food TO ME. If you want a little more eat a little more, to do onething thing in this case exercise, to eat more. is like making excuses to do it, and sometimes, not saying you will , but some will find other reasons to eat more.
i will eat more tonight, and just not have such and such to more.
in my opinion. just mine. it can lead to a downward slide. like the alcholic who has a drink just this once its a specail occasion, down the line anything can be a special occasion
JUST MY OPINION.
and i was not even beeing smart *kitten* on that reply.

yes you should have elaborated more to be quite blunt about it your original post sucked and just sounded negative and rude.
Now that you have elaborated I can see it from your side and don't wholly disagree,
However I am working on having a healthy relationship to food ,meaning things I like aren't off limits but I choose to earn them through exercise, especially days when I am hungrier than my calorie budget allows.
I also find I enjoy my food more when I've earned it through exercise and didn't simply just go over my calorie budget.

i can understand that (refering to the last statement)
i guess sometimes its hard for me to see that as when i am eating healthy, i have trouble getting all my cals in . too many years of wrong diet has trained me bad. (though i can put away the taco bell)

And i will add the other reasons you gave were all fantastic reason, which is why there cut out except that one.

thank you for elaborating more, it's hard to tell when someone is just making an observation or just being negative when it's only one sentence. I do agree that this wouldn't work for some situations and personality types like your alcoholic example, but in this situation with the right person it can be very helpful in feeling satisfied and feeling good about it, this isn't short term for me it's what I want to do for life so i have to learn to have a good relationship with food and that means learning how to be able to have what I want and not have to feel guilty about it, and if exercise will help me do that then I consider it a pretty good motivating factor...................bearing in mind that anything in excess is not recommended, like if you exercise 4 hours a day so you can have 3 pizzas that night. At any rate thanks for elaboration.
