Has your dedication to fitness affected your social life?

My fitness & social life are in sync. I get my workout in first, which allows me the time I want with my friends & family

sounds to me like you are making your identity into someone who must restrict her diet and must do x and y and z and everybody must know about it. i have low bodyfat, lots of muscle and i still go out to eat on weekends and eat normal food.

That's a completely unfair assessment. People talk about things that are important to them. Just because they do, doesn't mean they're trying to force those things on others. We all have different hobbies and interests, and there's nothing with talking to friends and family about said hobbies and interests.

Truth be told cheating every so often won't hurt you. I know plenty of people who cheat every weekend and still maintain high fitness levels and low body fat. Truth is your friends who are not leading as healthy of a lifestyle as you will probably live just as long as you.

I disagree. I think they are reading that into it, when it's just not there. I have several friends who, due to medical conditions, have to be on restricted diets.

I certainly don't look at that as being preachy. I look at that as doing something good for their health.
