So you don't become weak and overweight, for instance.

I find "not weak and overweight" to be the least compelling way to frame it.

There are a lot of positive implications that become obvious when you say you want to be strong and lightweight. While "not weak" is a passive character judgement, "strong" is a constantly available opportunity.

If I hadn't wanted to avoid diet and exercise more than I wanted to not be weak and overweight then we wouldn't be here.

		Who am I but the average weighted sum of my future preferences? Why should the temporal dimension of my preferences allow them to suppress other preferences?
