It is remarkable how his self-control and personal discipline, otherwise admirable, fail to apply to his waistline.
My sister was talking about a woman like this last night. She is overweight, but she is very smart with things not concerning weight. Why can't she figure out what a good diet is?
I pointed out that it may be because there is so much bad information out there that there is nothing to point her to the good information.
I've found diet to be a taboo subject. Everyone believes their expert. I find those who can't lose weight have the strongest opinions about how to do it.
It's like me saying, "Train without pain. No pain, more gain, etc. Fix your knew by extended rest"
"What do you know about plantar faciatis?"
"I know enough not to get it or to fix it in the early stages."
Never ask a person with a chronic disease how to cure that disease.
Well, this runs into all sorts of empathy problems. I'm not saying don't give a hand to pull someone up.
