Even with the social isolation, being a webwhore has been good for my head. As close to perfect as it gets.

Physically? Not so much. I have so much geek work to do at the computer it's hard for me to make time to exercise, especially since I'm not an exercising sort. I know part of my job is to look good, but like JD said, you can still be a fat ass and make money. It's really the geek work at the computer that brings it in for an indie like myself where we do everything on our sites, from being IN the content, to shooting the content to blogging to design to building promos to promoting ourselves to getting other people to promote us by administering our program.

When my body is fucked up, so is my head -- don't sleep as good, don't feel as good about myself, makes work harder which fucks with my head, not as efficient, and then I use food as my drug of choice to make me feel better so it's a vicious circle.

Yeah, everyone is right that the job doesn't FORCE these consequences on you, but when you only have so many hours in the day sometimes sitting here typing useless posts on GFY is much more appealing than going for a run on your jiggly 35-year-old legs.
