Lies & Untruths

I see this all over Pinterest when I am searching for good running motivation (AKA finding delicious recipes to cook given any half decent excuse) at it really irks me.  
Why do we continue to glorify this?

"Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels"?  Really? Are you sure about that?
What about healthy?  
Or fit?
How about happy?
Loved? 
Cherished?
Wanted?
Needed?
Looked up to?
Intelligence?
Compassion?
Sunny days?
Family? 
Friends?  
Long runs?
Crossing that finish line?
Aren't all these things much more important than "skinny"?
           Forget "Good", these things are BETTER.
and guess what...Occasionally I think a bowl of ice cream, grilled out burger, or amazing piece of brie tastes way better than your skinny feels.  Because life is important, love is important, people are important, living a healthy lifestyle is important.  
Being a stick?...  Save that for the damn trees!

Question:  What do you think tastes BETTER than skinny feels?
Let me know.

  2. Your/our special Mac 'n Cheese recipe is amazing and addictive. Proud of myself for regulating it to only 2x a year. I could live off that stuff otherwise.

    Kate Moss is a horrible role model.

  5. Finishing one of those exceptional runs (either pace, distance, etc.) after a few frustrating, slow, painful runs OR sitting on the couch on a friday knowing you have nowhere you need to go after a long work week OR a walk on the beach at sunset OR funfetti
