Grainne-I could have used my own advice over the holidays! Feeling puffy and sluggish today myself :).

Love it! It really made me think about how food makes me feel. I enjoy going to the gym and have had some absolutely awful sessions after I've eaten badly. That makes it easier to see junk food as punishment-something that lessons the enjoyment and will make me feel all puffy and sluggish. Hmmm.
Thank you!

Thanks so much, everyone! I am so happy that my pi...

Thanks so much, everyone! I am so happy that my piece had such an effect and I can't wait to share my evolving thoughts on nutrition in a post I am working on now.

@Christy...I hadn't actually thought of that! But it's a great idea :).

Great article Neghar. Simple, straightforward and to the point...just like you. :-) I think about this all the time. As a dancer, food was always the enemy. Now, as a dancer AND lifter, food is my energy, my fuel. My family always jokes about the "burrito" in my bag...every time they turn around, I am eating...but they also recognize WHAT I am eating. Food that will fuel me and give me good energy for the day, for my training. That is the key. Thanks for the post. :-)

Love finding like minded people! Thanks for the inspiration! "What if you thought of junk food as a punishment instead of a reward?" Great way to look at it! And Yes! I do feel punished when I ask junk food to fuel my day, let alone a workout. I like your blog! http://shredfitkelly.blogspot.com/

Hi, great post! No other animal would consider NOT as fuel, that should leave us thinking...
however, although I have my weaknesses (e.g. good dark chocolate, red wine, cheese...), I would and have never considered junk food as a reward. it is just garbage in every processed food item and it does not even taste good. I do not really understand what people like about junk food as in burgers, fries and all that shit.

Neghar, great piece as always! Gotta say, this will speak to a lot of people out there.

Not sure if I'll be able to fully remember this article when I am in Baltimore next month ;) hehe! But I reckon the long haul flight will make me bloated anyway .... so what the heck.

Can't wait to meet you btw!

When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change as well *bangs Confucius gong*

Dope philosophical waxing here, Neghar.

This is good stuff.

Alwyn Cosgrove once said to consider what your food is doing to help you meet your goals, rather than how it keeps you from them.

I use a quote from Captain Dale Dye, USMC to keep me on track sometimes. "Food is fuel. Continue the march."

Really, really, really awesome article. I love "What if you thought of junk food as a punishment instead of a reward?", and I need to process that, 'cause that could totally shift some things.
