No it doesn't because you're arguing as if choices were dependant on one another. Choosing to avoid a coke one time doesn't mean you're now in a bad position to avoid another coke later on. It's not about winning or losing it's about building habits and keeping them, which I have agreed is made hard in some people's environment.
So one choice doesn't impact another unless it's to make a habit? Come on, you can't have a rule apply to my point but not to your point.
The point I'm making is that a game of chess has a conclusion, a destiny if you will, in which you'll lose even if you make a good choice right now. Real life is not like that, your choice to be healthy now does not mean you've lost the opportunity to do so in the future, ultimately leading you to your "destiny" of being unhealthy. That is victim mentality and we shouldn't endorse it. Still, I completely agree that making the unhealthy choice has become easier in recent times, and we should strive to reverse that trend.
Oh, sorry, I didn't know that's what real life was like. Thanks for setting me straight.
But yeah, being talked down the like that means I'm done with you. Try to be less condescending when you disagree with people.
I don't believe I talked you down or stayed from a respectful tone, but if I made you feel like that I just want to say it was not my intention. In any case, have a good one!
