Why diet? Why exercise? It can only be because one cares. I have tried to show him two things: one, that resenting things is not at odds with Nietzsche’s philosophy; and two, that dieting and exercising should be aimed at strengthening the will first and foremost.

[Nietzsche, Zarathustra, “Of the Three Evils”, 2.]
[U]ntil we become innocent, we are certain to try to judge our Will by some Canon of what seems ‘right’ or ‘wrong’; in other words, we are apt to criticise our Will from the outside, whereas True Will should spring, a fountain of Light, from within, and flow unchecked, seething with Love, into the Ocean of Life.

There is no right and wrong (good and evil) in Nietzsche, of course,—only might and lack thereof (good and bad). No conscience, only sense of honour. All that’s “wrong” with weak hedonistic impulses is their weakness, not their hedonism. But in a sense, hedonism is itself an expression of weakness: the strong burden themselves because they find pleasure in it. Thus there are lower and higher hedonisms—hedonisms of weakness and hedonisms of strength.
