Wisdom IV from Lord Percival

“The physically fit can enjoy their vices.” ~ Lord Percival

This touches on an important idea that I think many people out there may struggle with.  I've talked with many people before who talk about how hard it is to avoid certain foods or other kinds of guilty pleasures.  Every time they indulge themselves, they have that voice in the back of their head that tells them they shouldn't be eating that.  And that, in and of itself, causes additional stress in one's life.  This is probably an advantage leading that healthier lifestyle that often goes overlooked.  When you know you work hard to keep yourself healthy, thin, looking good, or whatever your goal is, it's easier to feel like that treat every once in a while is deserved.  It stops causing the stress that it once did and becomes truly a pleasure instead of a pleasure tainted with an internal struggle.  Assuming it's done in moderation, that is... ;)

Something to think about.
