You know how doctors always ask those “lifestyle” questions at your annual check-up? And you know how you always know the “right” answer isn’t the one you can truthfully give? Point in case – how often do you exercise?
Right answer: at least 30 minutes 5 times a week
Real answer: I take a flight of stairs in the morning to get to my office…sometimes.
And sure, your doctor be tactful and not give you a lame lecture. But they’re still judging you – silently. Despite the fact that I’m a perfectly healthy 25 year old, who eats healthy and takes my vitamins. Maybe I just don’t like to sweat. Maybe I had a traumatic accident while working out. Maybe I’m just a very busy, important person – who would rather eat fabulous food than go running.
I don’t need a guilt trip from someone I see once a year!
