I think I've figured out the reason that I put more effort into video games than anything else in my life. It's because in video games, you're guaranteed a reward of some sort. If I were to restrict my diet and do some exercise, I'm not guaranteed a girlfriend or even satisfaction of any sort. I just have to suffer through months of discomfort. I could play an exercise simulator for months, though, because I know there's an ending, and I know I'll get something.

Holy fuck it's 2016 stop playing video games everyday.

it's instant gratification you're looking for

>ITS CURRENT YEAR

That's what he said.
Anyways I agree OP, another thing is that video games are more interesting. Nothing in real life compares to fighting Dragons and shit.
>doing all that shit everysingle day
Have fun when you're older and your joints have been grinded to dust

The thing about delayed gratification is that you don't know if you'll actually get it.
I don't really play video games too much anymore, but I always get tremendously sad when I finish them
Last one was starcraft 2 campaigns
The story was cheesy as fuck but why can't more people be a coolguy like Artanis? I felt like I was in that world, man.

I can barely run 6km two days a week let alone 10 everyday for 3 years.
I do 6km in 45~min then I reach home, shower and make my dinner. Been doing that since last year and lost about 25kg.

6km in 45 min twice a week is nothing. Congrats on losing the weight, but that must have been due to your change in diet.
Does this really work? Like make me lean? I started using this app called 100 push-ups , where you gradually increase the amount of push-ups you do every week , I hate being skinny and don't like the gym.

There's no guaranty of getting a girlfriend, but there is a guaranty of becoming a better version of yourself.
A year form now you could be:
A) Fatter and more disgusting than you are now, lonely with no chance of getting a girlfriend.
B) Have a body you can be proud of, still lonely but with a better chance of getting a girlfriend.

That just shows self control/gluttony. Also I would have told the teacher to go fuck themselves. They are just reinforcing the recent jew movement towards not taking responsibility for your actions. What the teacher did was trick you, if you are getting tricked in actual financial situations either you have legal ground or you are a plain fucking retard that deserved it.

No if you were to actually do this every day you'd destroy your body in a month or less.
