Are you doing things you are passionate about? Do you value your mind and do you do things to stimulate it? Are you laughing and smiling? Those things don't come with working out, but they have EVERYTHING to do with happiness and respect of who you are. And yet everyone emphasizes so much "working out" when it's a tiny part of a way bigger picture.

Never said it wasn't. All I'm saying is that goals can help you make a positive change inside yourself. Best way that I can think of to describe it is to that if you were the kind of person who did it for the pure joy of working out, odds are you wouldn't need to lose weight or do it for health reasons, etc, in the first place. It takes time and effort to stop being a couch potato and goals are a good way to keep yourself on point...
That is all.
