What you didn't eat

Why don't we get credit for the things we didn't eat.  In a way we do.  What happens when you don't eat cake??  Your teeth thank you to start with.  It doesn't always show up on the scale as a loss but it may save you from a gain.  As we make choices everyday as to what we eat and how we spend our days it's not always something that shows up on the scale.  The closer we get to our goals the cleaner we need to eat.  At one weight, skipping a meal or getting sick over the weekend may produce a loss but the closer you are to goal you realize how important it was to workout and strength train to maintain muscle.  The goal of chatthefat is to maintain maximum health.  The "skinny fat" is not a goal.  No one is going to raise a flag because you did a pass on something or made a good choice but when you put all those good things together you will be surprised at the questions.  When others ask you how you did you you can think of all those thinks you didn't eat and then your but will thank you along with your heart.  When people say you are deprived they forget there is a limit.  You need to deprive your body of the toxins sugar causes, the side effects of deep fried foods, simple carbs and the list goes on.  Remember the 80/20 rule so if you want something special please pick carefully.  You get 1 so are you going to waste it on something that rates a 5 on the 1-10 scale.
