i'd imagine FD's thoughts are no different to those of twitter or facebook or a current affair.

'we would love to promote deep thought and discussion, collaboration and improvement and a positive narrative BUT people just arent interested'

emotional states are addictive.

go and eat a salad at maccas and feel the hate.

people dont want to change
they love their failure
they love their pain
they love their victim hood and their derp state.

you try and show them something better and they will hate on you for showing them something better.

Gordy - fat girls need love too.

Are you man enough?    

I grew up with the idea that fast food was a once-a-week thing. Pizza was a Friday night thing. The rest of the week, the meals were a variety of meat and vegetable combinations. Sometimes it was savoury spaghetti. We had the roast on a Sunday. Generally, the meals were relatively healthy.

My go-to drink was usually cordial. I do not know why I drank cordial so often. I guess I was allowed. I kept drinking that regularly until I was about 18 years old. When I got a casual job, I had a bottle of made-up cordial to drink during the quick breaks. Not having time to do much else, my health took a tumble.

I had my first McDonalds meal when I was 11 years old. A McDonalds opened up in 1994 across the road from my school when I was 15 years old. You can imagine lunch times had issues with students crossing the highway to get to McDonalds, breaking the school rule of leaving the school grounds. But, McDonalds was not a thing until I went to university. A meal at the university cafeteria would set me back $15. A meal from McDonalds would set me back $10. KFC was a go-to meal for me after working 6 hour lunch shifts. After expanding my waist line by 25kg, I decided to change to Subway. I lost at least 20kg inside 3 months.

But, over the years of adulthood, having alcohol every week was such the norm that I have given up caring about how fat I get. That is until you wake up feeling ill from the condition. People give you a difficult time for being overweight. Being obese is something that attracts the ridicule. I do not like it. But, I have to do something about it.

thats called 'motivation"

losing weight is hard, but the "i do not like it" provides the fuel to propel you forward.

if we just decide that its not nice to talk about weight, people will accept it.

this is happening in america and will happen here soon.

in america, you can tick a box on your 'my health record" making it an offence for a doctor to weigh you or to talk about weight loss.

as per usual, the short term gain in feeling unchallenged will fester into a long term pain when you have pressure sores, diabetes, busted knees and feet, kidney failure and are kicked into a nursing home.

love it when its hard.
never follow the path of least resistance.

your mind will contantly tell you to give up
ignore it
treat the body with rigor and the mind will submit

this is another benefit of daily cold immersions.
you are training the mind to submit to the body
now when you feel hungry , you can just laugh at your mind.
stupid mind. youre not the boss anymore
