I'm subjected to bad food ads at least 3 times a day. Unless I don't want to watch TV, don't go on the internet and don't go outside my house, I don't have a choice on the matter.
I'm only subjected to unprotected sex adds about once a week when I watch a movie with the topic matter and as it turns out, there are warnings at the beginning of the movie concerning sexual content, not to mention that a movie is easily avoidable in that I can watch other movies instead (unlike TV ads, internet ads and ads posted outside that you do not control).
In your head only.
I say otherwise.
If you can run over 2 hours even on a semi-regular basis, then you must have a lot of time on your hands. I envy you.
A lot of people don't have the time to run longer and there is a limit to how fast you can run.
The problem is eating donuts on a regular basis.
Doesn't have to be the box of 6 donuts each time, just a donut semi-regularly will do its work.
Those adds that you see daily won't go away.
Actually, it was suggested that willpower is not infinite, but rather comes in limited quantity in a given time frame.
They do show you those adds all the time.
When you are down, they will be there for you with the fatties.
I guess different people find different things harder to resist.
Some people do love their sweets. I happen to be one of them.
Maybe you do not understand the problem in your self-centered frame of mind so let me spell it out for you: I enjoy pastries as much I enjoy sex (and I have higher than average libido).
Many people are like that as well.
The amount of willpower you have to exert when you walk beside the baked goods and the amount of willpower I have to exert when I walk beside the baked goods is not the same.
I feel harassed by those baked good adds. I feel like they are infringing on my personal space.
When I live my life and I'm not subjected to adds of sugary food, I am happier, because I don't think about it as much.
But each time I see those f*cking adds, I think about that type of food and I think how delicious is probably is, but then I think really shouldn't have it because its not good for my health and it's a struggle between two very conflicting desires which makes me unhappy.
Those morons are putting cr*p in my head to make a buck and you seem to be under the impression that this is cool based on some vague notion of complete enthropic, anarchistic freedom (which I really wish you would get a taste of).
Clearly, my situation is beyond your ability to grasp, because after all, you are so strong and I'm so weak willed and a pansy.
You are like so into your own head and your own little insignificant life, that you can't be bothered understand how other people might differ from you.
