Today

I can't help you. Perhaps you want to lose weight, get fit, or quit smoking? Well, I can do nothing to help you. If you wanted to lose weight, you would have done so by now, wouldn't you? What it involves is a fundamental reconceptualisation of the self. There is no intermediate stage. You are either fat or you are thin. You cannot be dieting, or quitting. You are one or the other. There are no steps between being lazy and being fit. You cannot chart a development. There is no becoming. Never say 'I will diet for a month', or 'I will try this for a bit'. You will have already given up on your goal. You, and you alone, must fundamentally transform who you are. This blog will be brutal. See, I told you I couldn't help you.
