What blocks my good intentions?

by Perry Karfunkel October 18, 2007 4 Comments

All right, so here’s the question… If I KNOW what I should be doing for my health, why don’t I just DO it ? Why is it that it just doesn’t happen? Why can’t I get disciplined and become that gym dude that would burn the calories and strengthen my heart and lungs and make me healthier? What’s the source of discipline that other guys have, is it just competitiveness to look good, not be outdone by other guys? If “live and let live” is a good philosophy in interpersonal relations, why is it such a block to my own personal health? I really don’t understand it myself.… Did I really just have to join the Marine Corps to “become a man” and get control of myself? (It’s a little late for that NOW!)

Welcome!

Talking About Men’s Health (or TAMH) is a blog designed to provide a platform for the discussion of a wide range of issues effecting boys, men and their families.

I’m soon to be joined here by a range of key thought leaders who will share their views on a wide range of issues they care passionately about. The writers have been specially invited, and I would like to invite you also to contribute to the debate via the comments section. It’s my hope that with our contributors and readers comments the site can become an open platform for discussion on the issues.
