The quest here is the search for the disconnect. Why car enthusiast would take better care of their car then themselves, why a pet owner would take better care of their pet then themselves or their kids. It is a rather broad and existential question I will admit.
My disconnect was due to ignorance, I didn't know any better. It wasn't until I saw myself in a photo wearing my racing suit with no neck and a pretty envious set of man titties, that I realized something was very wrong. It was that moment, looking at my bloated self, in front of my race car where it dawned on me... "What if I applied the same approach to myself that I did to my race car? I bet I would go better and last longer too." Turns out I'm right. My disconnect was ignorance but I don't know if that's the case for others. I suspect it's a wide variety of things and not just one.

A philosophical question or practical?
Practically speaking this is an automobile froum with a small 'offtopic' section, so this is the wrong internets for 'personal care'.
I love things besides myself because my life is lived beyond an introspective reality. What I do
with my body is more important than what I do
to my body. If you play sports, hike, swim, work lots of physical labor, ect your actions dont have to be focused on your body if its already being well maintained. Things snowball with age. Ohhhh I didnt realize this was turning into a fat issue, thats another topic... Im out.
