    I must be the bizarro you. I hate swimming. My former profession required swimming quite a bit and most guys in my unit didnt like it. This often surprises people since it was an amphibious unit. But swimming is boring especially in the ocean.

    No not at all. Early on I gravitated towards endurance athletics so my 'bizarro' was discovered early. Ran my first half marathon the at 10. Crazy triathlete for a decade focusing on half and full IM's. It just suits my brain for some reason doing the mundane. I'm def the weirdo I just 'embrace the suck' of it b/c it's more like my go juice....I can just put my head down and go. When we all head out from camp during rifle season everyone jumps on quads to go to their stands. I've long since gone by that time so I can enjoy the quietness of the woods and a 30-60 minute walk to my stand. Yes. That weirdo.

    My former unit was also amphib, and most guys hated swimming, too. Open water, I didn't mind (thought it was mind-numbing); I loathe swimming laps in a pool.

    Now in my current job I talk to patients for our practice, I talk to about 30-45 people a day. Reviewing charts I would say about 75% are overweight. Half of those are morbidly obese.

    In other news, about 75% of the patients I talk to are also on psych meds.

    Yeah, there is just too many things they try to fix with pills these days. Sometimes just a better diet and exercise could solve alot of issues.
