do you worry about your lifestyle?

I don't have the most perfect lifestyle but by no stretch of the imagination do I have the worst. Even if I was unfit and unhealthy I want to live my life the way I want to live it. I will do what I want to do and enjoy life whilst I'm young(ish as it is now :p)

luckily for mr though I have quite a but of will power I have been at the stage where I have been unfit or not happy with my weight or some other aspect of my lifestyle when this happend I simply knuckle down and exercise hard until I am fit/happy again.
 
I've finally accepted the fact i'll be dead by 30. It's a race between the cancer and the inevitible mental breakdown.

So yeah, I worry about my lifestyle. It's fun though.
 
I don't smoke, nor drink. But my diet sucks and I couldn't give a damn, I'm gonna die one day anyway. I might annoy the people who have to lift my coffin. But I enjoy my life and thats all that matters.

I expected the same, but it works out differently, what should be a break down isn't and your body struggles onwards, through spells of depression and it takes long periods to even realise you are in a depressive phase.
Eventually they become so common, the ups and the downs, you realise you likely have mania, and given the way income protection works, and with a child on the way, it is best not to get treatment. Ignore it, try self-therapy, which works to a degree, but those close around you suffer, they see the mood swings which others further excluded from immediate groups do not. They have the tougher life, not knowing what they did wrong (when there was nothing).

Try to avoid the breakdown.
 
That over the hill feeling that hits you after 30...
Wondering where your life is headed, that you haven't done enough or progressed in the direction you wanted to and you feel like it's starting to get too late to do anything about it.
My biggest worry is my lack of motivation. I used to have hobbies and be out there "doing stuff" but the can't be arsed attitude has crept up on me over the years and I'm struggling to shake it off. Now I just sit and read OCUK when I'm not working :-/

Grandad died at 92 , the other 3 grandparents are all 90+ by now and still alive :eek: so, must be some good genetics there somewhere.

I smoke too much - quit before for 6 months , here in Malaysia cigarettes are a lot cheaper as well which doesn't help (price was just increased to around £2 / 20 pack last few days though).

I'm diabetic as well , and to be honest my diet hasn't been great as I eat out far too often which makes it a bit difficult to control :(

I was very active before , cycling a lot - but now I don't have my bike here so do pretty much no excersize , planning on bringing my bike over next time I go back though.
 
I have too, thought about this from time to time.

There are a few aspects of my life that I would like to change. However, I lack the willpower to do so and I am rather lazy. (Another aspect I want to change). Health wise, I am fine. I probably don't eat as much as I would like to but with the busy days I get at work I simply don't have the time to do so.

I think if we really wanted to change, we would. But being in the 'comfort' zone and staying there is always the easier option, isn't it?

Maybe this thread is just what I needed to make some changes. Maybe the posts in said thread (Including this one) will only have a lasting effect on my choices until tomorrow.

Oh well, bring on the rest of the week...
 
Nope, I seldom drink, I don't smoke, but I eat heartily, exercise hard and have a good social life. Life's too short to worry, but also too short not to look after yourself. Over the past few years I've mellowed up more and more in attitude, achieved more at work, and have been the healthiest I've been in a long time.
