One of the hazards of the freelancer life is sitting down a lot and eating too much while youre working. Yet every time I say I need to watch what I eat and get more exercise, someone pipes up to announce that deprivation is bad, and I should just treat myself! That gets on my nerves. If you treat yourself every time someone tells you to treat yourself, youll dig your own grave with a fork. People in our field are often unfit, and tend to die young. Its a high stress profession, and a very unhealthy lifestyle. I realize not everyone has a choice about fitness, but I do. And I choose fitness. Real deprivation is not having enough to eat, not saying no to a cookie when you can have whatever you want. I want to be healthy so I can have energy, focus, a strong back to offset hours at the drawing board, and a long, productive life. Taking care of yourself isnt a beauty contest, and its not about deprivation. Its about health. Physical AND mental health.
