[QUOTE="Majoru Oakheart, post: 2178245, member: 5143"] Well, I don't believe that being overweight is "me" per se. What I was saying is that spending most of my time exercising and trying to remain slim, I wouldn't be me anymore. I'd lose time that I currently enjoy spending on other things. I have 3 D&D games a week, I'd likely have to drop at least one of them to spend one day a week and the gym or something in order to slim down. And the thought of that does not appeal to me. Also, I'd like to point out that I'm not EXTREMELY overweight. I know at least 3 or 4 of my friends that are more overweight than I am. As for the showering thing. It's not that I don't like having a shower, it has to do with my priorities. For instance. I went to bed right after I made the first post, about 10 hours ago. I set my alarm for 9:30 pm, figuring that I'd be awake long before then. I woke up to my alarm, still felt tired and hit snooze. I finally woke up around 10:15 pm. I work at 11:30 pm today. I work the midnight shift doing tech support until 8 am. I will likely only see my 3 coworkers all day before I come home again. I don't like them because they haven't really treated me well in the past. So, I've spent 30 minutes reading through replies and posting this. It's now 10:50. When I take a shower, since I enjoy it so much, it takes no less than 30 minutes, normally 45 minutes. I need to leave in 10 minutes. So, in order to not be late, it appears no shower until I get home. But the only people who I'll see today at all are likely those 3 people and anyone I pass on the street from my car to my work. And being awake at work seems more important to me than what those 3 people think of me. Because I get rather...cranky if I don't sleep well. And that's not a good thing when you talk to customers for 8 hours straight and they can be frustrating. On that note, 5 minutes before I have to leave, still have to get dressed and go. I'll read and reply from work when I get there. [/QUOTE]
