"Why Exercise Won't Make You Thin"

Hey All! I know it's been a while since I last wrote but I haven't had anything to spark my mind until NOW!

I found this article called "Why Exercise Won't Make You Thin" through an accredited website (TIME) and my mind has never been so baffled! I wasn't going to add the link because I didn't want anyone to get discouraged about exercising but I decided that I have to add it so you all get my point, so here it is: Why Exercise Won't Make You Thin. If you chose not to read the article than I will sum it up for you: Exercising will only make you more hungry and make your self control "muscle" more weak causing you to overindulge in foods like french fries, muffins and Starbucks. Exercising is the cause of obesity and will only put your body under stressful situations. You will be much better off to take a stroll around your neighborhood and eat as you please than to put yourself through the stress of exercising.
What do you think about that?! If only being healthy and fit was as easy as a stroll around the neighborhood! This article makes me laugh because it chooses to skimp out on the most important factor of getting results which is a well balanced diet. The fact of the matter is, exercise alone will not make you thin, but exercise combined with a well balanced diet will get you into great shape. (I choose not to use the word thin because not everyone's body is the same, some people will be in great shape but not have the stereotypical "thin" image.) Millions of people in the US are obese because they do as the article says and they live their lifestyle the same way they always have, if the article is right then why are they obese? The fact is, the only way to lose weight and be healthy is to burn more calories than you consume all while eating a healthy, well balanced diet and the only way to eat a healthy well balanced diet is to have some self control! It is a challenge to have self control when just starting, but as soon as you get in the habit it comes natural. Once you start seeing results from your self control (which will come in no time!) it makes you want to keep it up even more! I hope everyone is getting the results that they have been looking for in their workouts. Whether you have created your own workout or are using a Beachbody program feel free to ask me any questions that you may have. Don't get discouraged and be sure to keep eating clean for maximum results. Remember, eating is 80% of your results but you still need that extra 20% of exercise to finish it up for 100%!
