If you can't control your weight, how can you control your life?

A female friend of mine has often shared her fitness affairs with me since she started working out. For example, personal trainers are expensive. She goes to the gym three times a week, each time as tired as a dog. And the coach made her do a lot of things she thought she couldn't do before, such as squatting with 30KG barbells. What impressed me was that she talked about another partner who worked out with her. She is fatter than she is, but she goes to the gym less often. I went there once and took a whole week off because I was too tired. After working out, I went to have a big meal. You can walk back, but you have to take a taxi. This friend of mine not only goes to the gym on time but also controls his diet and keeps exercising. As a result, everyone guessed that her friend had successfully slimmed down, her body curve began to show, and her figure was getting better and better, while the little friends who worked out with her did not change much.

after listening to her sharing, my first reaction was "persistence, Guts" and so on, and then "people with money and leisure!" I have been running by myself for many years, and I began to practice yoga this year. Whether it is running or practicing yoga, it is not easy to stick to it for a long time. Because you often have to stay with physical discomfort and even pain. As my yoga teacher says every time in class: if you feel pain in any part of your body when doing this pose, please stay with the pain with your breath. In addition, you need to spend a lot of money on exercise equipment, such as running shoes, a GPS running watch, sportswear, yoga mats, and so on. I'm not an equipment controller, but I've spent thousands of dollars on sports equipment. I saw a lot of "equipment control" and "race control" on the Love Burning website (http://iranshao.com/has a lot of good articles about how to exercise). In addition to spending a lot of money, they also spent a lot of energy learning sports-related knowledge, such as "endurance athletes' diet", "how to prepare for a marathon" and so on. If you are looking for a professional to guide your exercise, the cost has also been rising in recent years. A friend who ran a marathon told me that if he accompanied someone to practice running, the cost of a class would be about 500 yuan. Therefore, whether it is sports itself or buying equipment, learning sports knowledge, all need the support of money and time.

A friend who is a fitness instructor once said to me: muscle is not cleavage. You can squeeze it casually. You have to spend a lot of time on exercise, exercise persistently, and pay attention to diet. With eating 800 yuan a barrel of protein powder, maybe you need to spend a lot of money to hire a personal trainer to have such a few beautiful muscles.

it sounds like exercise always has something to do with time and money, as well as strong self-discipline and willpower. From this I draw a corollary: a good figure maybe like a luxury, not most people can have it. Or to put it more bluntly, a good figure belongs to the rich class. The "rich class" here are not only rich people, they are also rich in time and energy. I call them "really rich".

to prove my inference, I would like to cite the British documentary Seven years of Life as an example. The director chose 14 children from different classes to follow and shoot, some from nursing homes, some from the working class, and some from the upper class. Every seven years, their lives are tracked from the age of seven to the age of 56 in the eighth seven years. The original purpose of the director in making this film may be to express the social reality that the British social class is insurmountable, the rich and the poor are divided, and the children of the poor will continue to be poor, and the children of the rich are still rich. The film is now filmed at the age when they know their destiny, and it is really in line with the director's view: most people's life is well-mapped map. Only one or two children changed their destiny. one of them, a peasant named Nick, was admitted to Oxford and later emigrated to the United States, where he became a professor at a famous university and became a member of the elite class.

this documentary shocked me at that time, and more importantly, I found a very interesting thing. I find that these people don't change much before they are thirty years old. Most of the 7-year-old children are naive and lovable. In their twenties, the girls are young and beautiful and the boys are handsome and handsome, but after the age of 30, they have undergone quite drastic changes, one of which is their figure. The poor are getting fat and bald, their faces are haggard, their pretty twenties are gone, their bodies are crippled, their lives are getting worse and worse, and their children are young but fat. On the other hand, the rich still maintain a good figure, tall and tall, and they even look more elegant, mature, and attractive than they were when they were young. Especially women, they are not only in good shape but also elegant in temperament. And fewer children raised by the rich are obese.

is this in line with my previous inference that a good figure belongs to the truly rich class?

there are many theoretical explanations for this view. One explanation is the findings of Harvard professor Mulanassen: "the poor and the overbusy share a common mindset: attention is preoccupied with scarce resources, leading to an overall decline in cognition and judgment." A poor person or a person who is too busy, to solve immediate problems and meet current needs, such as the poor thinking about where the next meal will be, busy people have to rush to complete the most urgent tasks, so they do not have the "bandwidth" to plan for the future and arrange longer-term development for themselves, such as spending time and energy exercising, to have a good body and keep it all the time.

the second explanation is the limitation of willpower. Each person's willpower is limited, it has a fixed amount, and you withdraw willpower from the same account for different tasks. Once you spend a lot of willpower on A, you will be powerless and out of control on B. For example, the poor because the flowers are too much. With more willpower to get the next meal, he won't have the willpower to exercise and control his diet. If I write manuscripts all day and cook dinner, and you ask me to run again in the evening, I usually can't do it because my willpower is exhausted. However, psychologists have come up with a solution: the most important way to reduce willpower consumption and improve efficiency is to form habits. Once an automatic file is formed, the loss of willpower will be less. If I get into the habit of running, then when I run, I will consume much less willpower.

maybe I can use the above two explanations to explain why some people are losers just like you, but then they become rich, leisure and in good shape. Because he keeps working hard, has good habits, fosters the spirit of self-discipline and self-improvement, so that he has more "bandwidth" to face the future. For example, he can learn English, read books and manage money when you browse Weibo; when you sleep late in winter, he can get up early and run for fitness; when you eat and drink and stay up late to surf the Internet; he can control his diet and Rest on time to form a good work and rest. Over a long period, he distanced himself from you and became a rich man in material and time. There is a saying that you can't even control your weight, how can you have the Guts to control your life? Are those who succeed in weight control more likely to succeed in other aspects of life?

I believe that those who can control their weight may have better family conditions, but more importantly, they have good habits, good self-discipline, and strong Guts, and can make unremitting progress towards a certain goal. Behind a good figure is likely to be his or her diet, regular exercise, and routine for more than a decade. This reflects a person's self-restraint. Therefore, some people say that a good figure is the external embodiment of self-cultivation. The older you get, the more you need the self-discipline to maintain a good figure. This kind of self-discipline is a kind of ascending force, which needs to be supported by strong mental strength. And it takes a lot of unimaginable efforts to develop such mental strength. Therefore, those who can keep a good figure deserve to be admired and learned. Maybe when you can have a good figure, you are also becoming rich and idle.
