General Discontent

General discontent rant warning: if easily offended, go away now.

General discontent with the media food information, and especially weight loss information, is about how I could describe how I feel today. We were out for dinner last night with a person who makes this clear. ELMM philosophy, without realizing that a 1/2 hour of "exercise" makes less than 10% difference, and she feels energized after, while most overweight people feel drained after. We do not want to do it, and it is just draining.

General discontent with the political and medical community for lack of support for recovery, and the lack of useable advise. Someone would need to figure out that general discontent for the situation is one of the feed back loops that drives obesity. Discontent with the education required to make a living, and discontent for the meagre living most of us make, but then there are the few who have the right talents, and are in the right place at the right time, with the right attitude, to do well, financially. Some of them are vial humans, and some so far in debt that they are loosing at treading water. 

General discontent with how life turned out, with my likes and dislikes, and with my career. There are those who say follow your dreams, and take off, leaving the siblings looking after ageing parents. Perhaps it is duty, and to whom duty is owed, and to whom it is not. And all the bullshat, past tense?

General discontent can be a motivator, a reason to change things. There are things around me I can change, no more radio in the truck, no TV, no newspapers, just to much crap in/on them. No more putting up with the ignorant people who know less than I do about weight control; they can have there opinions even if they are wrong. Doing something against our will does not improve the situation.  

General discontent with sorting real information from opinion, and the verbose mode people, who take pages or much time to say little, and then miss the point, oblivious to the fact that they were in the wrong. I refer here to a car accident store, where the verbose driver-storey teller overtook a car turning left, and caused the accident with considerable harm to the other vehicle and driver, but was never charged due to rural police or something, and was totally in the wrong, but could not admit to herself that she was even years later. I never said a word about step 8 harm. None of my business.
