RE: Average Self-Destruction

Believe it or not, I kind of agree with you. I know that isn't always the case when we discuss weight, but today, I am going to say I agree to an extent. I think where I draw the line is the fact that some people try and others don't. It's one thing to be actively working on getting healthy, having the results not happen as quickly or exactly the way you want and still being confident and comfortable with who you are. Then another to not even try and just say "I'm beautiful" as you spiral out of control. Sadly, with most people being lazy these days, the latter is the norm.

It is this I rebel against.

And this is what I support.

Too many are selling themselves short by not putting in the "work" (all the parts necessary) to take the journey. Failure doesn't matter, but not trying is a waste of opportunity and potential. It isn't just in weight loss, but in so many things these days, where people end up just taking up space, taking resources, life without living.

Yes, I agree with that. Like I've said before, my wife and I get up every morning and workout. We don't really see much in the way of results, but we are putting in the work. For me, I know it's mostly how I eat, but for my wife, she keeps a strict diet and still doesn't get the results she wants. I think hers is attributed to her meds, but I'm no doctor.

This can be a huge part of it. It is for me at least. Two of the meds I am on have added weight to me and before starting them, I was 15-20 pounds lighter.

Yeah, it's scary. I told her she should stop taking everything for a bit just to see, but apparently that isn't very sound medical advice... :P
