Simple doesn't mean easy. Running a marathon is simple, you just keep running until you get there. Yet the majority can't do it.

For each of the scenarios you presented, there is a simple solution:

  • "there are starving kids in Africa so finish your plate" - put less food on your plate
  • eating is the basically the only joy you have - expand your hobbies to find meaning elsewhere
  • medication... side effects - count calories
  • no time to exercise bc both you and your wife have to work - make exercise part of your commute

Each of those are simple solutions, but they aren't easy to implement. I get it, I don't do the above nearly as much as I should; I know what I should do, but actually doing them is another story.

Keep it up, you can do it. :)

This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.
