I just lost some respect for Yalom. I wonder if he'd have publicly admitted to that if he was repulsed by some other minority group and had to work to get over it. Sometimes I don't like it when people get over their shame too much.

i suppose I'm hardly the only one thinking about motivation and exercise and weight this time of year. But I've been thinking about people I know who actually have to work not to exercise too much. That's how much they like it. I think someone on PC recently posted how they exercise to kill their emotions. I was close to someone who probably did that, but the exercising was not too much. Anyway, I wish I could figure out how to get the motivation. Once in a while I've felt like that- I was just motivated to be more energetic in a lot of ways then. I can feel good when I'm done exercising taking a shower; sometimes during the exercise I feel good if I'm not too bored; but getting motivated to START is really hard. I think I'm going to join a new gym with fancier showers and stuff to help.
