- Fit people are dicks because they're right about fitness.
- Tim hates the entire process of changing clothes, sweating, showering, and changing back.
- You have to become addicted to exercise, needing it like brushing your teeth.
- Tim fears losing weight will give him cancer because his body won't know what's happening.
- Changing your behavior is one of the hardest things in the world.
- When you get sober from drugs, you can't keep hanging out at the crack house with your old friends.
