"Don't you feel great after exercising?"
No, usually I feel nasty and gross and like I'm about to keel over and die. I hate being sweaty. I hate feeling my lungs collapsing. Waking up sore? Yeah, not a fan. Quit romanticizing pain. We're not all masochists. Heck, I hate leaving my hands unwashed when I've been working outside for more than 5 minutes. I'm not a germaphobe though.

"Eating healthy is always better for the body and mind."
It's not too great on my wallet sadly... I've measured it out and on my usual diet, which is not unhealthy mind you, (I struggle with portion control mostly) I only pay $20 or so a week on the high end. When I tried healthier options it almost hit $40 a week average.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Exercise can be fun and energizing."
Some people like collecting stamps. Hate to break this to you, but people enjoy many forms of entertainment and exercise is not one of mine. However, I do enjoy hiking occasionally on a nice cool day.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"What if you exercised with friends?"
Sorry, but I built friendships with people who share similar tastes in entertainment. We occasionally do activities that involve quite a bit of physical activity. We had hikes regularly for several months. But then life was like, "Sorry, you need money. Capitalism." And we drifted apart. I actually keep in contact with my closest friends almost daily continuing our interests. That usually means playing video games and chatting for hours about our days. I'm social. That's not an issue.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"You have to start small and make little changes."
I have. For years. My biggest step was getting myself out of a job that offered 50% off of fast food. That offer was way too tempting. Second was cutting sugar intake down. Like, a lot. And I did. My normal consumption can be anywhere from 20% to 10% of what it was two years ago.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Maybe you should sleep more."
Yeah... I got nothing for this one. I suck at sleeping. I might have apnea, but that's small potatoes when I refuse to usually sleep before midnight.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Okay, so it's a short post, but I felt like I needed to get some stuff down on paper. Enjoy.
