Tons of work done in various industries is "shitwork" that the person doing the work wouldn't normally do except they're being paid to do it. At some point you give up arguing with the customer.
The dieting is a perfect example - many health issues can be solved by losing weight but few people want to make the lifestyle changes necessary to do that.
> few people want to make the lifestyle changes necessary to do that.
I didn't have the will to make lifestyle changes until I had a serious bout of sciatica. I needed that external motivator of torturous pain to be able to commit to changing my eating and fitness habits.
Two and a bit years later I'm down 12Kgs and slim and healthy (but, ironically, still have back pain issues that requires minor surgery to alleviate).
"Don't worry, it's only for the rest of your life". If you can come to terms with that, you're ready to start.
Dude, sciatica was my catalyst for lifestyle change as well. I had a bicycle accident 14 years ago and damaged my piraformis. It was the most humbling and painful experience of my life.
