You could still eat SOME of that stuff if you commuted every day. But setting
reasonable goals is certainly a good thing when it comes to fitness.
Besides my wife actually complains that I'm getting too skinny when I drop below about 190.
Gotta keep Wifey happy. In my case, my wife is already a gym rat. When all of my 6-pack magically returned (didn't do ONE sit-up or crunch) she hired a personal trainer to catch up. I am not complaining.
Just a footnote for the rest of you (guys only): If you are trying to attract women into a long term relationship, DO NOT get yourself looking like a "Men's Fitness" cover model. Most women are so self-conscious about their bodies to begin with that ripping up only hurts your chances of hooking up long term ESPECIALLY middle age dudes like me. Thankfully I'm covered already.
Keep eating the pizza if your wife digs you as is!
