Confusing Fan Mail Of The Day
Mind you this came to me in 20-point pink type:
"Today is the first time I am looking these websites. There was an article done in FITNESS magazine. Since you first started, have you met any people that would like to do something other than sit and watch tv? That' s been most of my trouble. Everyone is just immobile, no injuries, just lack of wanting to burn calories. It didn't matter if they were thin or fat. Have a good day. Just remember, that the fattening thing will always be there and you can eat it some other time."
Sadly, everyone I know just sits and watches television. I keep encouraging them to go shopping, or see a movie every once in a while, or do some traveling. Maybe get a pet, or get a job, something to fill the time. But no. They're all too busy watching TV. It's a real problem.

I'm of two minds about this. On the one hand, it's good to have someone else expecting you to do physical activity, and it can be a motivator to not want to let them down even when you want to veg.
But the best case is probably to find something you can do yourself (nothing dangerous or that requires a partner, I mean--walking, jogging, biking, or whatever). That way, you aren't dependent on anyone else and you can engage in your physical activity of choice without working with any schedule but your own.
I know that's hard. I'm not there either, so I compromised--I pay a trainer. He surely gives me a better workout than I'd get otherwise, and I'm paying for his time whether I show up or not. That's been an oustanding incentive.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH.
What a wanker.
I'm sorry. What(brushing Cheeto crumbs from bosom)? Law and Order is on. I can't talk now.
How bizarre.
Although assuming that what this person's complaining about is the difficulty of persuading someone to exercise with him or her, I can see that might be frustrating. But, um, it's not tremendously clearly expressed, if so.
For the record, I haven't watched a TV screen that wasn't attached to a treadmill since... don't know. Not this week, anyway.
If you like, I'll trade you emails like this for people who think BFB is the official site for The Biggest Loser.
Tell 'em no, we just sit and watch the COMPUTER. So we can be smarter. Then we do our TaeBo DVDs so we can kick the butts of obnoxious people. On the computers who run the Linux OS we wired ourselves.
Then you can tell them eating plenty of good FAT (olive oil and salmon; nobody panic) is necessary for brain function. And you can't tell from their dress size (*snark*) but - perhaps based on their inane inquiries - they might want to adjust their dietary ratios.
Geeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeez.
