The Diet and Exercise Link

I've noticed an interesting link between diet and exercise. When is it hardest for me to keep a healthy diet? When I'm not exercising regularly.

When I don't exercise, I tend to eat unhealthy foods and break the rules of my diet. But when I do exercise, I actually find it difficult to eat those same unhealthy foods. Exercise makes me crave food that is healthy!

If you find yourself struggling with your diet, take a look at your exercise habits. You may find it's time for you to hit the gym.

That's a good point. I haven't been exercising at all lately, and my eating habits have been moving into more fast food, more sweets, etc. It feels like my mind is waving a white flag and saying, "Hey, I give up, if you're not going to exercise, then go ahead and eat whatever you want. I don't care."

Obviously, I need to get back to an exercise regimen to help change that attitude.
