What's more important to maintain healthy weight, eating right or exercise?, I know that both are important, of course. But, in your opinion, which is more fundamental/necessary in order to maintain overall health and physique?

I think its a combination. Either or will not help

Why are so many women so neurotic about health these days??, I know it is important to be healthy and exercise and maintain a healthy weight etc, but why are so many (particularly) women so neurotic about it these days?

Why should I feel bad for enjoying a beer or glass of wine of an evening and why should I feel bad that I don't eat 5-grain breakfast cerial with yoghurt every single morning like so many other women I know?

It's because of what society says, so everyone chooses to follow. You can still enjoy the finer things in life and be healthy. What gets me is when someone rags and moans about being healthy. Eat healthy, don't smoke, exercise, then they drop dead while out jogging. I like who I am and I am gonna stay that way. I'm not out to please anyone but #1. Have a good one.

As we all expire from this Earth eventually, is quantity more important than quality?, We all want to live a long time, but as they say, life gets in the way. Health, relationships, and just the status quo changes as time goes on. In order to live a better life, is it more important to do what we know is right; eat well, maintain a healthy weight, practice religion, be kind to others and self, work at a successful career (moneywise and otherwise), so that we can have a LONGER life or do we do what we want, when we want, so that our QUALITY of life supercedes? Or, are they intertwined?

I have a standing order to all who know me, that If I cannot speak for myself, do not take me to the hospital, but call the nearest Vet, for they are still healers. If I can not recover in a goodly time, then it is my wish, and my right that I be taken beyond the 200 mile limit into the ocean, and be tossed to feed the sharks.

Quality of life far out-weighs quanity, just ask anyone waiting to die in the old folks home. Most of them would have their minds returned to them with as little as 3 hours of sunlight a day. A proper "Job" could be found to where they could feel productive... My Great Grandfather at age 97 looked in his 40's. He would get out on the wagons and help throw the hay into the loft, 2 bails at a time. At 98 he retired. At 99 he looked every bit of 100. He never did live to see 100.

comfortable with healthy weight gain?, I work out often and proud that I stay active.I gained a healthy 60 pounds. I went from 170 pounds to 230 pounds in a couple of years.I did not eat very much before this weight gain because I feared becoming fat and lazy. I realized that I was unhappy with myself and I started to get active in sports and the outdoors. I began to love eating food including cheeseburgers and fries and the pounds started packing on despite my walks and bike rides. some of my friends and family say that I gained a little too much weight.this is a weight that I feel comfortable at and can maintain. my butt is bigger now and I like it that way. my health is excellent and that is more important than outside apperance. do you feel that this is strange I feel happy about gaining weight?

I'm glad you're happy with yourself. not many people can say that!
