Does being physically fit give you a sense of superiority?

Fast forward a few years and I was exactly the same kind of dumpy and frazzled. 40 pounds overweight, nothing fit right. This went on until my kids went to college.
Now, I've lost that weight, can wear pretty clothes and look good in most things. But I don't feel superior. I do feel proud of myself and I do feel empathy for people who are not fit. It's a hard slog.

Do people not realize what can happen to them with aging children? I’m always surprised by stories like this. Did you think you would be immune?

Of course I thought I would be immune! It's no different than how young people have no fear of death. I was young and thought I'd be hot forever. It had been easy for me for years and I'd never experienced it being hard. Oh well, I learned like we all learn. And now I look good again. The circle goes round.

Honestly, being fit is really easy. It's just requires you to eat right and workout consistently. It's like going to school, in which getting good grades just means you need to do your homework every day/week.

It's not hard, and I find it odd that people have such a hard time doing it consistently. I guess this sentence makes me sound like I feel superior, but I assure you that I do not, because I don't find that being physically fit is difficult. And so I don't feel superior for doing something easy.

+1. I’ve been physically fit my entire life, and no discipline has been needed. I’m just living life normally. I too don’t know why or even how people struggle so much that they feel like the need lots of discipline to stay physically fit, but it definitely isn’t a sign of superiority.

+2. I’m in Finland right now, and nearly everyone I see looks physically fit. Lots of people biking, walking, swimming, etc. I find it hard to believe that this is the result of some kind of moral superiority or excess discipline. It’s just that the society here has made it easy to be physically fit.

If you were mentally fit, you’d know that it is *significantly harder* to be physically fit in the United States than it is in many European countries. Our lifestyles are not even close to the same. So in Finland it might not take any effort or discipline, but HERE it absolutely does.

That being said, on a population level you’re basically making the case that their lifestyle is… what’s the word? Superior?

So live a lifestyle different than normal. Not all that hard.

If people bring garbage to eat at work in the break room, don’t eat it. Don’t pile on processed food during a road trip at the gas station. Actually prioritize health and activity over other conveniences. I guess that’s an inconvenience, but not all that hard in the grand scheme of things.

Obv it is hard and that’s why the majority of the US is overweight and out of shape, with a large percentage obese and morbidly obese.

You’re talking to a wall. The PP was literally describing having self-discipline in an abundant junk food culture in order to make her case that it takes zero discipline.

This site seems especially full of absolute idiots lately. Constantly contradicting themselves and they don’t get it even when you explicitly point it out to them. Maybe it’s the influx of reddit traffic or something.

Did you require any significant self discipline during the pandemic at the beginning not to get day drunk? Probably not.

Disagree avoiding the “temptations” of “junk food culture” requires discipline. That presupposes there is some innate drive to eat that garbage. It might be learned but it’s not like the self discipline required to not urinate anywhere you please.

Thanks for providing evidence for the point made in the second paragraph of the post to which you replied. Now run on back to whatever subreddit you wandered out of.

That’s the best you have? Are you angry at the donuts that demanded you eat them?

I rarely eat donuts. But I like to eat donuts. Donuts are delicious, and people leave them in the office kitchen every other day. The reason I don’t eat them all the time is because I have… wait for it… self-discipline.

And because you’re an idiot who has apparently just crawled out from under your rock, humans absolutely DO have an innate desire to “eat that garbage”… that’s WHY the food manufacturers MAKE that garbage.

Also, please look up what self-discipline is. It’s easy for Nordic people to be physically fit because their society has made it easy for them. It’s also easy for Americans to be unhealthy because OUR society has made THAT easy for US.

Finally, the Finns have not always been so healthy. But their academics and government partnered up to… you guessed it… change the ENVIRONMENT to promote healthier lifestyles. A little light reading on the subject:

not disagreeing with you, but as most therapists that specialize in eating can tell you most food relationships are built in the nuclear family rather than in the wider social networks

This is nothing more than an elaborate way to excuse behavior. It’s always somebody else’s fault or some other thing.

I’m not sure you realize what the real meaning of self discipline is. It isn’t avoiding junk food. That’s just not being a glutton.

But you are in luck. The Olympic Games are on this coming weekend. You can see what the result of real self discipline looks like. You know, doing something actual hard while appreciating it will eventually pay off. Maybe you will learn something.

Going to the gym and lifting weights is the easiest part of anyone who is fit day.

The hard part is the diet and cardio (and/or repetitive calisthenics they do for core and abs).

Feeling superior may be strong; feeling good about themselves that they do not look like 90% of the American population is more accurate.

[Anonymous]

I feel happy about what my body can do. I also feel a spirit of kinship with other people who are in the gym doing the work. When I’m lifting, I feel much more in common with a new lifter struggling to lift a light weight than with a fit looking person I never share that gym time with.

I don’t feel superior to others but it does make me feel good about myself to stick to fitness routine. And it improves my mood for sure!

[Anonymous]

I don't feel superior or worthier, per se, but I do feel I look better than a lot of people (especially people my age) because I work out daily. i feel like more people could aspire to be healthier. I imagine a lot of them are superior to me in other ways

[Anonymous]

Not superioirity per se, but I know looking good gives me advantages in life becasue so many others have given up on looking good. Being fit communicates a level of discipline that so many lack.

Nah, it's reflective of your genetics.

Keep doing the good work fit people, I look at you for motivation. Trying to lose 35 pounds.

No, but I feel really proud of myself. It's such a commitment and showing up for myself when I'd rather hit snooze makes me feel good.

Unless you have a rare genetic disorder, looking fit it's about consistent work - not genetics.

I say that as a woman who was not at all fit and obese for a most of my life, and turned that around with steady and consistent work.
