This is fine...but I hate arguments that start with...."I had to do this that and the other....if I can do it...so can they". It's silly...
It's very silly. During my second year teaching full-time, I also conducted after-school tutorial three days a week, took 6 graduate hours (2 days a week after work from 5-9), and spent 8 hours every Saturday in a GRE prep course. I also took membership classes for two hours every Sunday before regular church service. I was tired. The extra time that I did have went to my personal homework for my classes, grading student work, committee work for the school, and when I could sleep. I was tired and burned out by the end of that year. Me not working out was not because I was lazy (as some suggest in this thread). I didn't do anything other than work and school (not even tv) for most of that year. I was mentally drained and physcially tired.
I didn't gain a lot of weight because I have always eaten healthy/cooked my own meals; however, I didn't start back working out until the summer/school was out. Exercise isn't even the end all be all. What you eat is like 70% of the whole picture.
People need to understand that everyone is different. You can't judge other people based on what you could do when everyone has different lives, schedules, after work responsibilities, and etc.
