[quote=“JohnClay, post:176, topic:749916”] He said that the government can’t pay for dietician sessions because I’m not overweight. \*\*If I want to be a male model \*\*I’d need to lose belly fat. [QUOTE] And do you want to be a male model?\ Bolding mine…and messing up the quotes mine. ---

> [@Hey\_Hey\_Paula](#): > > …And do you want to be a male model?.. I’m saying that it is true that I’m not overweight but that doesn’t mean I should be satisfied with my belly. People are often impressed with the bellies of male models and I’d like to be a bit like that. Though I’d be too lazy to try and get huge ab muscles. ---

> [@watchwolf49](#): > > Let’s get some jogging in too … burn that fat Well today the “best man” from my wedding visited. I challenged him to some fast jogging though it wasn’t a very long distance. He ended up more exhausted than me though he does weights and not cardio. Later in the day we ended up climbing a mountain that I had attempted to climb before. It is 200 metres high and I had quite a hard time climbing it. I rested a lot and drank a lot of water and poured some water on myself. The rocky steps were pretty steep and I was worried I might get muscle failure or a cramp in my legs. It was more than a moderate exercise since I wasn’t able to have a normal conversation for some of the time. I told my friend I wanted to give up but he insisted we do it. There were heaps of young fit women and some of them were even jogging up and down the mountain path. So I achieved something today. ---

Sounds like scrambling your hill is a good way to generalize your exercise, you’ll soon build yourself up enough so that bigger hills are in your future. We need you to bulk up your shoulders, arms, chest, dong, thighs and calves to that “male-model” standard so your belly will look flat. Be cautious checking out the young fit women … you’re married … drooling over the twenty-something girls is a good way to get divorced. You have to be hungry for this, but continue with the half diet for the full three weeks. You can trust the Good Doctor in this. ---

Seriously, there was a super hero many years ago by the name of Wonder Warthog (NSFW). He was like totally buffed out in every way an absolute he-man. When he finally got the girl, all she could do was laugh that his ding-a-ling was the size of a under-developed peanut, already shelled … … just sad … ---

Get to a gym and exercise, FFS. Ask someone who works there about the STFU machine. That’s an excellent exercise for you. ---

**JohnClay** , have you been prescribed medications for your mental illness, and are you currently taking those medications? If the answer to both of those is “yes”, I suggest that you tell your doctor that they are not working.
