I have always identified as way younger than I am and will be that way til I am gone or down and out I hope.
I identify as extremely good looking.
Have you been doing the martial arts for a long time?
What I will not regret is enjoying that cupcake in the moment, and work to turn that into motivation to be extra active and have a salad instead of some pizza.
I think the trick is, to eat treats when there is a "reason" to eat, like spending time with friends and having a cake together, like I did last weekend. The killer is sitting alone in front of a screen, eating a cake.
I don't care much about dying, I just don't want to live the rest of my age in poor condition, unable to do much except sit.
I guess it has been over 10 years training brazilian jiu jitsu. More as a hobbyist than a hard core competitor.
Totally agree. It is all about the habits. When the cupcake is the exception to the rule, and the rule is not to have those, then those exceptions are taken care of by the rules. As long as exceptions don't become the rule.
Keeping yourself active and mobile will go a long way to being in decent condition so you must be doing it right!
