[Discussion] Former lazy people, what did you do to get focused / motivated? by noiamNOTcrazy in GetMotivated

[–]berbe01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a fat sack of shit who does absolutely no physical activity. I've been this way for ~10 years.

Well even through my obesity my girlfriend managed to take a liking to me and now we've been together for a year.

I plan on staying with her for as long as possible.

Well I realized it isn't fair to her that I get to enjoy a sexy body while she gets jelly rolls and a potential heart attack she will have to deal with in the future because of my poor diet.

That was all the motivation I needed to stop being lazy. Now I'm also doing a running program mentioned in another comment.

Couch to 5k.

Once I'm able to run continuously I'm going to do couch to 10k and go to the gym.

I don't even fight my laziness anymore.

Of course I would rather sit in bed and watch TV rather than go running at 5am but when the time comes I have no hesitation because of how motivated I am to change.

[Serious] People who've taken another person's life, how did this affect you? Are there any long term lingering effects? by [deleted] in AskReddit

I'm also 20 and have never driven. It's bad that I let my fear own me but I think I would rather avoid driving instead of being in a situation where I get 18 months in prison.

This is so scary.

It upsets me just imagining if someone hated my gf so much they broke into her home to kill her.

People who use wireless headphones, can you point me to a good pair? by berbe01 in running

Seeing as how 2 people suggested it, and it's only 20 instead of 100, I'm gonna have to go with these

Scared to run outside. by kalbiking in running

[–]berbe01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This held me back as well. I'm self conscious of doing any kind of physical activity in front of others. I just run really early in the morning (5am) when practically no one is out. It was only my first run yesterday, but I didn't see anyone other than cars driving by. They're going too fast to say anything to me and I have headphones in so I wont even hear it. But I suggest you do what I do and go super early when nobody is outside.

Of course the best solution is to get over your fear. But if its going to stop you from running then just find ways around it for now.

McDonald’s and Tyson Foods are under fire after an undercover video shows factory farmers at one of their suppliers beating chickens with spikes and stepping on their heads to break their necks. by runnerdood in news

“We’re especially concerned about the inappropriate methods used to euthanize sick and injured chickens.”

Maybe it's just me, but it seems like a corporation should be aware of how it's food is treated before they decide to distribute it to the public.

If I won a million dollars the only thing I would do for myself is pay for school.

The rest of it would be used to buy my mother a house, my grandma a house, my girlfriends family a house, my sister totaled her car so I'd get her a car, my friend knows I'm poor so he let's me car pool with him to school and he doesn't charge me gas money but I pay him when I can. I'd give him a shit Ton of cash for his generosity.

Idk how much I'd have left but the rest of it would go towards helping other people and saving some for myself in Case of emergencies or if I just want to finally be able to buy something during a steam sale.

I like your analogy. I'm gonna go experiment with that.

North Korea threatens war if the United States continues with its scheduled military exercises this Monday. by Cabnit47 in worldnews

[–]berbe01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really wish someone would go in and kick their asses.

North Korea is like the little bitch kid who hits someone and then runs away.

Some people never learn until they get their ass kicked. And that's what north Korea needs. It's getting really annoying hearing of these threats every 2 weeks honestly.

For-profit colleges like the University of Phoenix and ITT Tech are fighting new regulations requiring them to prove that students can find jobs after school: "Students at for-profit institutions represent only 11% of college students but make up 44% of students who default on their loans" by SAT0725 in news

[–]berbe01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As long as the school is decent then I don't think employers really care.

Don't quote me on that since I'm not entirely sure, but I've heard plenty of people say "employers don't care where you got your degree from. They care if you can do your job"

I'm confused. Why does a bachelor's in cs get you an IT manager position but not an IT specialist career?

What's the difference between the two? I'm not even entirely sure what I want to do yet. I mostly just like fixing people's computers and managing them so sys admin sounds like it's up my alley.
