Morelike if you really want something, you can achieve it
And more like mind over mind.
You have to want it.
I've gone from 18 stone to under 14 in two years.
A lot of that was because I stopped focusing on weight. I wanted to swim. Like I'm going to die in 20 or so years, and I want to swim properly before then. I'm now a slow but competent swimmer.
And I discovered running, and I wanted to find out how good a runner I could become. And I'm now a pretty good runner for my age. BQ level at the marathon.
These things took a long time, but the journey is rewarding.
You are finally free from wanting things to doing the actual things.
Weight loss is a lovely side effect, but it came from pursuing things I wanted.
For me, I decided I wanted these things and there was nothing - not my own excuses, not my own laziness, not any fucking stupid ideas I had about it being too hard or for other people - nothing was gonna stand in my way.
If I gave up, all that was waiting for me was going back to where I'd been. And I didn't want to go back there.
There's the pain of discipline and the pain of regret.
I try every day to choose the former.
Honestly it sounds like horseshit. Surely your dinner gets all mixed up in your stomach rather than proceeding to your intestine in the exact order of the bites you tookAny thoughts on this?

Everything works better when we find the thing that works for us.Fair play to ya...
my main thing with exercise over the years... is
a). I'm not what I'd call abstractly competitive - i.e. I don't lose my shit over games, sports etc - while I enjoy them I never get the motivation to go all in
b). clumsy as fuck, so a) is possibly a conditioned result of b).
and
c). with a few exceptions, and generally wanting to maintain a reasonable level of strength and fitness, I've never found a sense of purpose from going all in with the exercise. I love physical work as its productive, but I would rather dig holes all day in the rain than go for a 30min run.
may change with time- as more bits of me start to fall to shit and i need to be more proactive
This is something I can strongly identify with. I gave up all sweets for lent and my energy levels went through the fucking roof. I had been eating a load of biscuits at lunch thinking they'd give me the energy to go HARD in the afternoon but the exact opposite was the case! and it was the lent thing that shed light on it.Would actually like to try it - just to limit glucose spiking; I get knackered after lunch.
I feel you . Its more cakes and biscuits in this houseI can't pass a shop without going in for some sweets
I'm the same. Get me working and I don't stop but you'd have to be coming at me with a knife to make me run. A gun, I wouldn't even bother as they'd probably get me, no matter if I run or not. That's how much I hate running. I do like long distance walking though. I find it peaceful and relaxing. I have and would rather walk 25k before I'd ever run it.I love physical work as its productive, but I would rather dig holes all day in the rain than go for a 30min run.
