Call me Al, short for Alexia. I'm into figure skating, running, drawing, hanging with my friends, feeling good, and being awesome. I believe that part of being awesome is feeling good and part of feeling good is eating well. But trust me, if you eat too well, you don't feel good anymore. So you've basically lost the point of eating well in the first place.
I don't believe in "dieting". When you go on a diet, the risk is too high of groaning after snacks and sweets and never being able to get your mind over that one bag of chips you saw your sister eating with so much pleasure. I personally don't feel good when I'm derived of the yumminess I need in my life. But no one feels good in the other extreme either. Stuffing yourself with pizza once a week and gurgling down that sugary soda-you lose the joy of occasionally delighting your self on flavorful food. If you eat it too often, the yummy foods in life aren't yummy anymore and you get "used to" eating things that don't make your body feel good. That's why I tried to find a comfortable balance of food that's 'good for my taste-buds' and 'good for my muscles'. You see, once I make both my taste-buds and muscles happy, my whole body is gonna feel great.

And that's why I believe in having my cake and my veggies too.
