I've tried to get people to work out with me. No one, save for the long distance boyfriend, show any interest. Their loss if they want to remain unhappy. I'm trying to get in better shape so when my boyfriend does move here, we can work out together.. he's super in shape. And I'm not. So I want to get in better shape so when we do work out together I won't die half way into it. xD

Dieting isn't a good term. It implies that what you're doing is temporary and many people don't support that. If you try to change how you live, they may be more supportive of that.

Usually changing how you live starts with dieting. Because you have to get in a routine first. Weight Watchers is well known to be a very good diet to help with permanent lifestyle changes in eating. When addictions to bad food is developed, something is needed to get away from the addictions.

Going to disagree with that. Changing how you live starts with changing how you live. Dieting for most people is a temporary thing, that's why when people stop programs like weight watchers and whatever other fad diet there is, they gain it back and possibly more.

For me it stays a lifestyle, I just moved in during highschool with someone who had no healthy food available. And too much homework for a job. I moved out so am able to eat healthier food now. I guess it is all perception or where someone comes from.

It is true diet can make one think about all of the fad diets out there, but the definition of 'diet' is also how one eats.
Diet- 1. The usual food and drink of a person or animal.
2. A regulated selection of foods, as for medical reasons or cosmetic weight loss.
3. Something used, enjoyed, or provided regularly: subsisted on a diet of detective novels during his vacation.
adj.
1. Of or relating to a food regimen designed to promote weight loss in a person or an animal: the diet industry.
the word means different things to different people. It means the first one to me. Becoming my usual food or drink. It is understandable because diets are seen from a bad viewpoint because many people follow it temporary to lose weight or they follow a unhealthy one. I assure you that it is different in this case.

I do agree with you that many people follow fad diets and stop them and eat unhealthy.

The definition of diet is how one eats. And when you say you're dieting it completely ignores the exercise aspect. It may mean something good for you but I see it like most other four letter words, one I don't want to use because of the implied temporariness of it.

I see what you mean but I am running every day I can. As a college student in nursing it is difficult to find time everyday so eating healthy is a good start.
