Insanely Awe-dical

...that I was overweight at 160 lbs. I was a heavy mass of size 35/36 waist jeans, who was definitely in the obese level.

If I thought that back then, I wonder what I'd think of myself in 8 years.

I have crossed the hefty threshold of 200 lbs over 2 years ago, and the way life is, I don't see the solution magically occurring.

A conscious decision is all that is necessary.

Kate and I had a discussion about being selfish, and it made me think about how I can be insanely selfish at times. Selfish, and self-centered.

Interventions happen because self-dillusion, rationalization prevent one from changing. A group of loved ons instill the fact that their own deficiencies or problems in their lives are affecting the people around them.

Usually people can easily defend these concerns when they come one at a time. Who the hell are they to tell me what I should or shouldn't do? Should I cater my life to fit you?

However, in groups, this defense usually fails -- Obviously if my problem affects all of these people, I would like to make a change for the better, so that my loved ones would be happier.

For me, it may just take one person to tell me this, and it really hits home at times.
