      Literally never said that but I’ve been swimming for 4 years at that place now. I have seen 0 people from the new year’s wave actually stick around. They all think a new number on the date changes things but it doesn’t, it never gets easier or harder, it’s about you yourself changing and that has no specific date to happen.

        I disagree. It does get easier to stick to something hard when you reach certain emotional milestones that drive your motivation. I’m not speaking specifically to New Year resolutions, but just in general.

          OC literally talking about stopping doing the thing they do to get in shape, because of other people being dicks. You attempting to defend those people’s actions, as though OC—the one who is aware of etiquette so all can enjoy—is somehow the one who’s against people getting in shape.

          You have defended the baddies by using the good guy’s point, entirely too focused on gaslighting with it to realise. This, ironically supporting behaviours that stop people from exercising.
