I agree with galt a little, cause in reality it was "easy" to switch, it was just the will to actually do it. It's not easy as in the effort to completely change your life but in essence the change is simple.
Eat well and exercise and do it not as a diet but a lifestyle change, it shouldn't be a chore, it should just be the way life should be. I totally enjoy it now, I cant wait to go to the gym everyday, I love not feeling like a sloth and constantly bloated, I dont feel the need or desire to eat at all, except just to get the necessary nutrients. I don't look to food as pleasure anymore, I look to being healthy as pleasure. So in its simplest form, Galt is correct, its a conscious decision to get off your ass.
But I disagree with how simple he makes it sound, no one wants to be fat, no one chooses to just a be a lazy slob. There are many contributing factors, be it depression, anxiety, anger, whatever. But in a fat persons case, food manifests pleasure to them. Just like getting drunk is what cures an alcoholics woes.
Alcoholics say that the issue isnt one drink, the issue is wanting 12 drinks. Alcoholics can't fathom how one can just have 1 drink, or leave half a beer on the table. Just as I couldnt get how people leave half a plate of food at the restaurant. It is totally a disease, it's an illness that requires the will to overpower your deepest desires, just like with any addiction.
It is easy for me to say, what a fuckin disgusting alcoholic, why doesnt he just stop drinking. But life is not that simple, if it was then half of this country wouldn't be fat, it's not a small group of people anymore, fat people will soon be the majority.
For me it was many reasons and honestly, health is one of them but not the top reason, I just wanna look and feel good, thats really my main goal.
