A very rough, short comic put together in 3-4 days because I wanted to experiment a little and practice drawing cats.. The original concept spawned from a thought that I tweeted a few days ago. 

I had to eyeball from stock photos for some poses of the cats since I don’t actually have a cat to reference (I’m mildly allergic… Much sadness). Although there are many mistakes artwork-wise, I hope some of you will enjoy! Thank you for reading. 

Edit: 9th page updated because I found a mistake lol. Also TW for mention of animal cruelty

IM NOT CRYING MY EYES ALWAYS DO THIS

THAT IS THE BEST USE OF THAT PICTURE I HAVE SEEN IN A LONG TIME

I’m never eating Oreos again 😢😭

Keep in mind that the average person can burn 70 calories just by:

Food is what fuels us and allows us to exist throughout the day: Without those 70 calories, simple daily activities like this wouldn’t even be possible. So to believe that those calories need to instantly and inherently be exercised away is harmful and downright untrue. 

–> Exercise is not a punishment for eating food.

–> Calories do not instantly need to be negated by exercise.

Your body is going to continue burning calories and using up energy whether or not you do a thousand jumping jacks. Trying to “balance” out your caloric intake like this will doubtless lead to an abusive and unhealthy relationship with food. Please don’t think of calories as something bad or guilty - You need them. They’re here to help your body and support your activity, not serve as a shameful source of fitness motivation. 

“ Exercise is not a punishment for eating food.”

It definitely feels like punishment or is taught like it is.

That’s why i say forget watching my diet… And i only do physical activities enjoy. Being active at all is better than not at all. I’ve seen much better result this way and I’m not getting burnt out at the gym as quickly.
