What I've learned so far disturbs me greatly. People are so, so dumb.
I know people who worry about their weight, but don't do anything to change their destructive/unhealthy lifestyles! It's like they never bothered learning nutrition and they don't want to learn it now.
This is what I've learned: people are extremely ignorant. In fact they're so unaware that they try "fad diets" with no concept as to why it would or wouldn't work. They say that they want to lose weight - but don't even bother to make the easy small changes to their eating habits that would guarantee it!!
Like true, I don't really understand how my car engine works and that's why I let a mechanic take care of it - but we're talking about our bodies, how do people not take proper care of their own bodies???
So seriously, how is it that people are so, so dumb??
I think being overweight has usually nothing at all to do with stupidity.
It's more to do with addiction, and comfort.
I have a big sugar addiction which isn't too bad because my work is physical plus I go to the gym. But if I had a better job working in an office for long hours and I never got into the habit of exercise I can see how I'd easily become overweight.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
