In battle, there is an aged old saying: "The enemy of my enemy is my friend." This means that there is military advantage to form alliance with your first enemies other enemies; so that together you can conquer your first enemy.
Recently there has been discussion about healthy eating and being healthy. But oftentimes I find that eating healthy and regular exercise does not result in being a healthy weight. Another great saying that I once heard is: "nothing is more unequal than the equal treatment of unequal's," which basically means that there is no one solution fixes every problem. So telling me to not eat the sugars I don't eat, or to cut back on the processed food I don't eat, doesn't really teach me anything. It's like you are telling me to make my water wet.
Hmm... maybe best to look at "Why do I have Fat?"
A current reality tree (CRT) is a way of analyzing many systems or organizational problems at once. By identifying root causes common to most or all of the problems, a CRT can greatly aid focused improvement of the system. So if the system is my body, I should be able to use a CRT to find the cause of Fat.
I eat healthy and I exercise regularly, both of which do not lend themselves to having Fat, so it must be something else. What about volumes? Can too much healthy foods make you fat; possibly. Eating too much healthy food makes you fat. So, according to the CRT, my problem is eating too much. So I tried to eat single servings instead of double-triple serves, but Fat stays with me. And I need to get rid of this enemy called Fat. So, if my enemy is Fat. And, Fat's enemy is skinny. Then Skinny is my friend. So how do I get Skinny? If I ate how Skinny eats, would I not just be jumping out of the frying pan and into the fire?
So many questions, no real answers

Just a thought, could it make it easier to enter a fun run if you pictured in your mind everyone not wearing anything. I feel it could put a smile on your dial while you are attempting to complete the run.
