Exercise is painful - arthritis, bursitis, and a few other bone- and muscle-related problems.

A "Healthy" diet makes me ill - why does "Healthy" food have to: (1) Have little, if any flavor? (2) Be expensive? (3) Leave me feeling even more hungry after I've eaten it than before? (4) Make me nauseous or give me gas and cramps?

YEs both make you feel better, I'm not on a diet but I'm a huge exerciser, jus bought a trampoline for this reason, along with a 8lb weighted ball love them both to stim off of lol but also great for exercising, i notice when i dont exercise i'm much more agitated, tired, and seem rather uniwilling to do other things.

When I ate healthier and exercised I felt a lot better than I do now.

Makes a MAJOR difference to me.

Eating junk food makes me feel crud.

Try a fortnight of eating natural foods only - and you'll realise how many days you lose to feeling crud due to diet.


I think natural foods and excercise make you feel bad. I need junk food to feel better.
