Would you say that this is normal or something everyone should do?
"I woke up yesterday and DEEP cleaned my entire house...again for the 10th time this month. I have some allergy issues and think its better to make sure no dust ever settles. Cheaper than hiring a maid."
Is this an accurate interpretation of your yesterday?

You make a lot of threads and posts about how triggered you are by things that don't affect you. You do realize that in itself is a mental disorder, right?

You’re obsessed with this like a big dog

I could use your awful argument for anything.
There are extremes with any endeavor. There are most certainly people who obsess and prioritize fitness above all else. There are also millions of people who simply want to live a healthy life and set fitness goals and work to achieve those goals. It requires will-power and motivation.

I began to wonder "do i have what it takes to create the body others admire?", and began to list in my mind what kind of dedication and work would be involved.
Waking up at 5 am to work out, working out at lunch, and then again after work, living off salad, chicken breast, supplements, smoothies, regurgitation, etc...balancing and weighing every meal....and began to think that only someone who is mentally ill could muster up such determination.
Those things aren't required to have a good body and live a healthy life. You're pretending that the extremes are the baseline with regard to fitness. It sounds like you have unrealistic expectations, as well as a warped understanding of fitness.

My hypothesis, we allow mentally deranged people to set the bar that normal people are judged by.
My hypothesis is that your hypothesis is just a half-assed rationalization to make you feel better about your inability to make make the sacrifices and show the dedication needed to get a result you desire. Just because you don't have the discipline required to succeed, it doesn’t make the people that do mentally ill.

I disagree. Not all fat people want to be fat.
They’re just too lazy to do what it takes to not be fat.
They want to be lazy as their priority therefore they want to be fat. It goes hand in hand. As soon as people recognize this as the truth, the better.

IMO, this is where it becomes an issue.
If your whole day is ruined because you didn't have that little slice of time, then you may have bigger problems than not getting the opportunity to workout.

My point is, they don’t WANT to be fat. Just like you don’t WANT to be poor, but it is what it is.
Just like them, you both don’t know how to change that.

People can’t control the entire economy. They can control their bodies.
Eat low carbs, drink water, move more.
People saying they don’t know how are doing just that...just saying it. It’s really not complicated.
People know what it takes, they just don’t WANT to do it, therefore they want the path more that makes the fatter by default.
People do what they want.

The real problem when it comes to how people deal with weight/body composition is that people are constantly comparing themselves with others. People have a difficult time accepting that genetic factors (psychological and physical) play a huge role in how easy/difficult it is for someone to lose weight or gain muscle. We all have this idea that there should be a level playing field and that if I put in 5 hours at the gym, and Ezekiel Elliott puts in 5 hours at the gym, we should have the same results. People see the disparity of results, get discouraged and quit. There are a lot of unrealistic expectations.
Stop worrying about the results that other people are experiencing and figure out what it takes to get the best results you can for your body.

I've always thought that, unless you're training for an event, the buttdart garb is a bit much.
Ultimately though i don't complain about people exercising. It generally improves the risk pools to which we all belong.

No, you’re missing the point. The gym time is his time to release, reflect, reset, it’s his meditation, “me time”....however you want to put it.
I’m the same way, i don’t go to the gym every morning. I wish I could but I just can’t, I feel much better about the day when do vs the days I miss.
It’s a release, it’s social, it’s mental nutrition....it may not be for everyone but there’s no reason to knock it.
If it’s not your thing then that’s okay. I’m sure there are other things that make you happy, like reading, singing, waLking, cooking, sewing, painting, everyone has their own releases. We are all different
Thank you!

There is only one true currency in this world and that currency is willpower. Some are blessed/trained to have an abundance of it while others are severely lacking, but the one common thread that I've seen between those who've clawed their way to the top of any craft/field is their ability to achieve and maintain laser focus.
Just because you don't care as much about something as them doesn't make them psychotic. It's just a different form of fulfillment.

We're all created differently, motivated by different things. We all have our quirks, habits, things that are important. We don't all have to be the same.

Isn't that what others are doing to you, Comparing?
You start to compare when you find others comparing others to you. All I'm asking for is truth in advertising.
Great body=OCD mental patient
normal body=normal person
Bad body=Lazy
Make normal, great again!

A moderate level of physical excercise combined with healthy eating habits is positively correlated with longevity and quality of life, period.
I can understand your feeling that this healthy lifestyle can be taken too far by some people as an expression of narcissism or a workout compulsion, but if you are arguing whether it’s better to take it a bit too far or do nothing at all I would go with option A every time.
Eat whole foods, avoid sugar outside of fruit, eat vegetables as much as possible, don’t drink beer/minimize carbs and you will find yourself in the top 10% as far as BMI unless you have a preexisting condition.
Add 3-5 hours a week of solid and balanced workout and you will be shocked what you can achieve in 6 months.
None of that requires compulsion or exclusion of other hobbies, just a bit of discipline.

Lmfao this is exactly right sometimes though on the other hand is someone that only eats to satisfy hunger instead of overeating to satisfy emotional needs not more mentally stable? Because it still is possible to naturally limit intake without dieting. Most people that diet try to get the most out of their calories though, hence less calorie dense options. Matter of satisfaction vs. fullness, which is actually overeating

Based on the upvotes I see, it appears that the OT is mostly fatsos.

The first thing wrong with your post is you don't have to workout three times a day to have a great body. You don't even have to workout everyday. You also don't have to micro manage your diet as you described
