Can I say how much I hate that crap? Some of us drew the short straw in DNA. |
I wonder if maybe my genes are worth a fortune:
I measured 1.86m tall weighing around 63 kilos at 20, in 1950. That's been my matchweight ever since. All attempts at eating more to gain weight have been unsuccessful. I've always had a good appetite, and eat till my tummy aches.
My weight is a little less nowadays and I try not to stuff myself like I used to since that makes me uncomfortable.
I have two brothers, one older and one younger than me and they are of a similar build. There must be a reason. I suspect my brain is burning most of the energy. |
I have inherited: cartilage degeneration, carpal tunnel syndrome, ulnar nerve entrapment. Also migraines, but they went away after menopause.
Really want to smack those (including my idiot sister) who tell me that diet & exercise will 'cure' me. |
While no doubt diet and exercise can make us feel better it is annoying that there are those who can think it can solve everything.
Similarly, The right approach and attitude is a great part of success** but this doesn't mean that sitting at home wishing for a sports car (ala 'the secret') is going to make it happen.
** Ever since I have started my own business, Marketing has fascinated me and a common theme of successful salesmen is not all just being gifted it is just being out there. A guy who won the award for best realestate salesman in the state told me that the industry average is 100 prospects per sale and his attitude is to hunt out those 100 prospects over a day or two rather than take weeks like other sales people. Richard Wiseman (I think) also did a study of 'lucky' people and found out that their luck took a lot of hard work and a few failures.
