I havenāt been keeping track too well of the last time I binged, I know it happened this calendar year but itās been awhile. Iāve kind of forgotten itās a problem haha Iāve just been exercising A LOT because I am ready to be in better shape and interestingly enough even though I eat more food, I donāt eat to the point of making myself sick anymore.
Thank you all for your wonderful example, youāre the reason Iām still making loads of progress!
So we as a modern, first world society donāt talk much about male body imaging but my work (for some strange reason) does require us to fit a certain margin. We are weighed every 6 months and if above the recommended weight, they do a body fat estimation using measuring ribbon to do our neck and waist. If we are above 23 percent we are put on a probation and are separated if we donāt pass the next time in 6 months.
Iām not an unhealthy person and I can do all the work that is required of me easily because I keep myself in good shape. Just that the shape of my body doesnāt agree with those tests and their scales for height and weight are all completely rubbish.
I remember one specific instance I walked in to get measured and the administrator said āgee you really donāt suck it in for this do youā but it is really just the foolish test because I can see my ribs and all my extra weight sits around my hips where they measure. So Iām regularly in danger of losing my job because of this ridiculous image they expect me to have.
Doesnāt even make any sense, Iām an engineer
In any case, I passed this monthās test and took myself to celebrate with some pie.
Iāve been looking myself in the mirror every morning before I shave and I say āhey Nate, youāre a good guy. Youāre successful and deserve the best you. I love you you good looking young manā and I know itās silly and stupid BUT IT WORKS SO WELL; it takes a few weeks to get used to it and to start believing it but it makes all the difference.
Thanks for listening to my TED talk
