STop me if i'm wrong but what i've understood from what you're saying is :
Abstain from short term pleasures that are actually long term pain, right?
Like eating a bar of chocolate. Over three minutes( or thirty if you have ten bars of chocolate =D), you have the pleasure of eating chocolate. But on the long term you experiance the pain of being obese. Right?
And if you abstain from your ten daily bars of chocolate. You succeed, because you loose weight and you are proud of you're body.
It's once again a simple pain/pleasure thing.
It produces more pleasure being fit, than eating a bar of chocolate.
Having the girls looking at you at the swimming pool because you've got that body you deserve produces more pleasure, than eating chocolate for 3 min.
Being fat is more painful, than eating brocoli instead of chocolate.
So you don't eat chocolate, in order to be fit.
Is that your point?
Because if it is i agree.
If it isn't, well i'm gonna have to ask you to develop more. |
Yes, I think I need to "develop more" because I am currently battling mental illness, which is preventing me from explaining my ideas more accurately and in greater detail.
What you have said above is correct though, and I agree with it.
