Day 5
Nothing major to report. Only that I brought my ignorance at the surface and tried to fix it. I have a bad thing with overweight people. More specifically obese and morbidly obese people. I don't hate them, nor dislike them, I've met obese people that are an absolute joy to be around. What bothers me is those that whine about being obese and think they can't do anything about it/won't do anything about it/don't have time for it. Their lack of self-discipline, lack of motivation, lack of willpower and keep making up excuses as to why they don't work out. I know it's hard to break a habit, but it has to happen sometime. Also, I'm not entirely convinced that the whole "I have a disease" thing is actually for real. I can't remember the technical name, but it involves a gland. The part where they say that they eat one meal a day might be true in some cases.
My parents are overweight ( my dad used to be a pro athlete ), mostly related to stress.
I heard once a line in a David DeAngelo product called 77 Laws Of Women And Dating that ( and I'm paraphrasing ) "what you despise in others is what you despise about yourself and what you admire in others is what you lack in yourself". Maybe I do, maybe I don't. What I know is that now that I'm working out and intend to work out until I finish the programs that I started. The motivation is there, definitely. I can't afford another failed relationship and I do intend to be seen by my recent ex as having the body of a Greek god. Furthermore, I want my next relationship to be the best ever. In order to do that, I myself have to be the kind of person I would want to date/attract. And I do have to switch my thinking from "can't afford to fail another relationship" to "wanting the other to be the happiest person on earth with me". That's key.
Anyway, back on track. That line that I mentioned above kept coming up while I was writing the reason obese people who won't do anything about their weight problem piss me off. The thing is for quite a while now, I can't distinguish between genuine observational facts/traits about others and what David D said there.
That's all for now.
