That zepplin-like swine’s day will come sooner. Did she join a gym? Join and quit a week later? I’ve seen it a million times.....
I, too, was fat. I ran my keister off, and lifted up a storm. I probably read an hour or more PER DAY for 3 months about little tips for “how to”. A lot of people couldn’t believe it was the same person.
MANY DAYS I didn’t want to exercise —many days I STILL don’t want to.
After years, I have seen MAAAANY cases where trainers encourage these people, and MOST of the session is this Jabba The Hut declaring, “it’s too hard” —super clear how he/she got there in the first place, and yet more clear that THERE is where they’ll stay.
Now we have this miracle surgery, and these “have it all now, in return for zero consequences” people are deciding yet again that THIS is the quick ticket.
It is —for AWHILE. Then, sure enough, things turn around.
If you dig a little, often you find out that they have no idea how to structure their eating decisions, and exercise is “too hard”. That, or they don’t have enough time —they wake up right before work, then work themselves into a good fatigue, then come home utterly exhausted to hungry kids.
HOW ABOUT GOING TO SLEEP EARLY, WAKE UP EARLY, THEN EXCERCISE?
Tooooooo hard....!
I know that many fail to kick non-mind altering non-criminal addictions in thier lives (smoking, overeating, negativity, etc.) The human spirit and experience is unique to each and each has their own troubles that we can not always see and have have the self control or power to transform.
What blocked a total genius I befriended from pursuing his potenial in physics? He delivered mail. He could not get himself to submit to school. But he is a great friend and I love him even though he failed in the sense of an outsider’s judgement. But his “smart” is still there even though one may call it wasted. It is not. His wit and wisdom is worth all the University degrees in the Universe.
Being fat is one I have not, by the grace of God, had to deal with, but i have plenty of habitual faults that are in need of fixing and I don’t find it easy to fix me. (I had to go through chemo and radiation for breast cancer and it would have helped me to have an extra thirty pounds to lose. I lost thirty pounds I did not have to lose which caused it’s own problems.) So I can understand the failures or imperfections of o
thers and do not harm, hurt, hate or reject them for their lack of beauty, weaknesses and failures cause I would have to do that to me if I did that to them.
If we could do better, we would do better. If we are stuck in criminal patterns we have to be removed from society so we don’t molest, rob and murder others. But if we are stuck on harming ourselves, it’s nobody’s authority to bother people about that. That is petty. There are more important things to do with your mind and energy than play judgemental bully.
Using the socialist material mantra of “health care dollars” as an excuse to turn us into a fascist monstrosity hating and condemming people in a “ten minute of hate” session led by politics or the culture is wrong. That turns us into progressive monsters and sooner or later it will catch up with all of us.
