"After three in-flight cocktails on Monday night, I bought a turkey sandwich and a ginormous cookie from the airline attendant. The cookie itself was three servings. Luckily, I read the back of the package before thrashing the entire thing. I tried to have just one serving and save the rest. Then I ate another serving.\nWhen I got to San Diego that night, I put the remaining third of the cookie on the table in front of my single sister. She gobbled it up, and then said, &amp;quot;Thanks a lot! Why&amp;#39;d you make me eat that?&amp;quot; Haha! Better her than me.\nYesterday, I went jogging from my parents&amp;#39; house to the beach. On the way, though, I stopped at Roberto&amp;#39;s for a taco. Dang. In the middle of exercising! Focus, Erin!\nPinterestFacebookScarf that taco and get going! Totally kidding. This photo was taken a different day.\nI can&amp;#39;t speak for people in relationships, but a lot of single people feel a decent amount of pressure to be hotties with bodies. In the dating world, an eye-catching physique seems to be important, or at the very least, helpful. A toned body even overrides age. I mean, look at Bethenny Frankel&amp;#8212;she has a sick body and she got engaged at 38 or 39. I&amp;#39;m not saying that&amp;#39;s old, but her husband wants more than one child, and she told him that&amp;#39;s not happening.\nMy friend Carla, 35 and single, who&amp;#39;s traveled the world for work and earned an MBA, knows some real heavy-hitters and has seen some crazy stuff. In her experience\u2026&amp;quot;If you&amp;#39;re a woman, the #1 thing you can have is a hot-ass body. A guy with a hot car is set. But a woman with a hot car is effed.&amp;quot; Umm\u2026in my experience as well, this is true.\nAnd another thing&amp;#8212;is it easier to be thin when you&amp;#39;re in a relationship? Adds Carla with her signature humor: &amp;quot;In theory, married women should look better because they&amp;#39;re rested and relaxed. The hunt is off. They don&amp;#39;t have to be doing what I&amp;#39;m doing&amp;#8212;online dating, having drinks, and getting fat with you people [me and a friend]. I could be home getting thin. Sex is double cardio. It is just simple math.&amp;quot; Too funny!\nSo anyway, obviously I exercise to feel good, lower my odds of getting breast cancer, and strengthen my bones, but I&amp;#39;ll admit&amp;#8212;looks and fitting into my clothes are first on my mind. I also worry I will get blase about my health if/when I get into a relationship. Which means the hope of a relationship is a big reason I work out.\nDo single people think more about staying in shape?
