You know… if you’re not a member of the 27 club, the weight is going to catch up at some stage.

This is kinda for my own True Emotion Mirrors and Precious Soulmates, but it may well apply to a lot of people; this thinking that we’re completely immune to signs of aging, invulnerable to any misuse of drugs, alcohol, over-eating, all over-indulgence, and that it’s utterly uncool to do anything about it when we notice there is an issue. :p I’ve noticed this thinking in myself, but after most of us have kicked the drug and drinking habit – still waiting on a few of you – now it’s time to cool the gym and healthy eating habit. Look. There are cool people who go to the gym. It’s OK.

We’re traditionally dead by 27, and now that most of us have survived 27, even 42 – our other favorite age to die at – it’s to be noted that we cannot keep doing stuff without management anymore. Everybody is pretty until they are 27, but after that, we need a bit of realism and management. People don’t get old, we get unfit and unmotivated. “Unmotivated” is not cool. Unmotivated is for people who don’t have a reason to stay fit. Who has no sex to look forward to. Dad bods are for men who don’t expect to get laid… Definitely not by a stranger. Mom bods… Well. Don’t belong to porn stars… Popular porn stars. 😉

They say that dropping weight won’t make you feel better about yourself, but this is only true for people who really don’t like themselves to begin with. If your only problem is that you’ve sat around for too long, you will feel better about yourself when you get back up again. If you liked yourself when you were fit, you’d like yourself again if you were fit. You still have a lust for life and an interest in looking good – a good sign. Your self-confidence should be in direct alignment with your weight; the more you like yourself, the healthier your weight should be – not the other way around. You cannot drop weight until you’re proud of yourself as a person, is my point. You won’t be proud of yourself solely by dropping the weight, but you will be able to drop and keep the weight down after finding hope for new happiness and becoming proud of yourself again.

If you think being seen at the gym is bad… Being seen with extra load is worse – for our type. We want admiration, whether we admit to it or not; we want to be sexy. We are vain but not shallow; we are artists and slaves to beauty and aesthetics, and worshipping the beauty of the body, as some try to unspiritualize it, makes complete sense.

Always remember that there are people who are happy being fat and ugly. Don’t count yourself to be one of them. Some want to demoralize you by making it seem uncool you’re taking care of your health to bring you down to their level, so you wouldn’t steal their men or women, but some are authentically thinking they’re liberating you from this undue beauty standard. Either way, if you don’t want to look at yourself in the mirror in disgust every time you do, just get this idea out of your head that it’s UNCOOL to put yourself through a fitness regimen. It may not be “cool,” but it is certainly not uncool. You do what you have to, leave the emotional dilemma to another time. Get to the gym, sort out the diet, and contemplate the philosophy of it all after you’re done.
