Paladin D Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 Is it vain wanting to look good? For example, I want to start working out more, exercising, and etc. Why? I want to be [b]more[/b] healthy, in-shape, feel and look good. What constitutes something as vain? Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 In a nutshell, if you were doing it so that you could be God's gift to women, that would definitely be vain. If you're doing it to gain more confidence, that wouldn't be vain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BurkeFan Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 No, I don't think so. After all, you are building the temple of the Holy Spirit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1337 k4th0l1x0r Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 Hmmm... when you're as good looking as I am, this is something you don't have to worry about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When they answer no, flex your muscles and say, "They're right here!!!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shelly_freak Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 I would say as long as you don't flaunt it then it's ok. Considering most of your motive is to feel better and be healthy it's not vain at all, God doesn't want you to be a couch potato. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piccoli Fiori JMJ Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 Couch potatoes are evil vegetables... :skitzo: If you want to work out and stuff, just to impress the ladies or show off your manly-ness... nuh-uh... no way... Try making this a prayer to God while you work out, make a deal like Bl. Mother Teresa did... for every letter she wrote she asked God to free a soul from purgatory, or something like that... you can do something like that too!

shelly_freak Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 I have asked myself this same thing and I decided that as long as I was just doing it so I felt better then it's ok. I was running yesterday and rolled over on my ankle so I'm not sure how much exercissing I'm gonna be doing in the next few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piccoli Fiori JMJ Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 I need to start doing something soon... Well, I do have the many flights of stairs to climb just to get to my dorm... I live on the third floor... and my design class is on the 3rd floor and so is my english class... and all the buildings only have stairs, except for a few with elevators...

Paladin D Posted September 9, 2004 Author Share Posted September 9, 2004 To quote Anakin from [b]The Phantom Menance[/b] - "Yippie!" I don't know why but, I'm just awful curious on how much I can build up if I work out enough. Though there is a small thought every now and then pops up in my mind that says "You can get girls!" Muscles don't make a man, his character and idenity in Christ does. [b]Real women[/b] would rather have a guy with character and an idenity in Christ, not a jerk who has a "perfect" body. But like I said, the reason I want to workout and build up my body is because... - I want to be stronger - Want to be more in shape - I was inspired by Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone - When I get older, I wouldn't sag so much if I make it a normal routine to workout. Not to mention, I would still have a lot of energy! ...but like always, Satan is also playing with my mind about the girl part, so I try my best to ignore it (I'm not the macho type either).
