being physically unfit is hell.
imagine not being able to wipe your own ass because it's too wide for your own arms to reach
imagine not being able to tie your own shoes because you can't bend enough to reach them either.
imagine getting winded from standing still
imagine your joints screaming in agony every time you so much as stand up
imagine not being able to clean because you can't reach the floor without risking falling over and not being able to get back up.
i have been up to the very brink of letting my weight disable me and I count myself EXTREMELY LUCKY that I seem to have stopped on the edge and pulled back before ruining the rest of my life.
The pleasure of eating always disappears IN MERE MINUTES but the consequences can linger indefinitely if these indulgences are left to go unchecked.
IT'S NOT WORTH IT.
Okay but there's a bit of a difference between "Enjoy food" and "so morbidly obese that you're almost disabled".
No! There are only people so obese they cannot physically move themselves and people who look like perfect hollywood starts without a single fat cell in their bodies! Anyone who tells you there is such thing as a wide spectrum of life is lying to you! The internet told me so!
You're right overall but it also has no relevance in this context. Keanu isn't even close to that level
