Football (or soccer), kickboxing and rugby. I’m a huge fan of them all. Being from Ireland, I support Leinster and Ireland (duh) in rugby. In football I adore Manchester United and of course the Republic of Ireland. I’m a relatively new kickboxer but I have always enjoyed watching K1 kickboxing or similar Thai kickboxing sports. I’m pretty fit and due to what I believe to be a healthy lifestyle and gene pool luck of the draw, I’ve got a body I’m very happy with.
However, every single one of us knows someone who complains about their body. Yet genuinely lead a life devoid of any fitness routine and junk food. You really don’t need both of these things to be overweight or even obese. You need only have one of them. No fitness routine, or no physical activity means your not burning off your calories, so your body stores them, in the form of fat. Having some physical activity but eating loads of junk food can also be enough for some people.
Well here’s the thing. You can complain to me as much as you like about your weight as long as you actually are doing something about it. Notice I didn’t say “trying” there. If your going to whinge and moan about your arse or arms or thighs or whatever being too big then DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. Otherwise you will just simply annoy your friends with constant complaining about something they don;t really feel comfortable talking about. How likely is it that if a woman says to a guy “My arms are too fat” that the guy will then reply, “yeah, you could do with trimming them down”? It’s not going to happen. Too often I’ve fallen into the trap of agreeing, saying, “I agree, you could do with some exercise”. It’s always been a fucking trap, a way of creating something more to complain about. To complain to your other friends about your weight, and the fact that I agreed that you are overweight, well Jesus fucking christ, you are overweight! If your going to go around telling people something that’s true, then they are going to eventually agree with you, where is the surprise!?
Anyway, rant over. As I’m sure you are aware, this is based on a recent real life situation, so that’s why it was a specifically female example.
