Your comment is still reductive. I don't put in any effort; I get away with not paying much mind to my diet, and not working out. I'm not overweight despite consuming more sugar than I should at work, and mostly consisting on milks (cow, goat, soy, coconut) and oatmeal.

> I don't put in any effort Yes you do. Taking the rest of your comment at face value, there’s no way that you chow down on unhealthy food at any time and in any quantity you please. Your examples of unhealthy food (milk and oatmeal) are also not very unhealthy. You might say “but I have no desire to eat unhealthy food”, and while that would most certainly not be true, you likely have less of an appetite for it than somebody who’s overweight. But if a person who over eats unhealthy food fixed their diet, their excessive appetite would return to normal after a while. That’s simply part of settling the debt for all their accumulated poor health decisions. You also likely exercise more than a typical overweight person. I personally think it’s no effort at all to walk reasonably short distances to do things like run errands or go to a restaurant, but for somebody who lives a sedentary lifestyle, that could potentially be considered a unacceptably significant effort. You may consider the effort to be trivial, but any person who’s not overweight does some combination or eating less calories/exercising more than any person who is overweight.

  I do eat a lot of sweets (cookies, coffee cake, etc), probably one a day, and the milk I drink is often with some syrup; I work at a cafe. Drinks are free so I'll drink a handful day to save money; sometimes with half-and-half or heavy cream. I do get a bit of exercise making drinks, but otherwise I drive everywhere and don't walk, though I'd like to start. I imagine my weight is thanks to a combination of my height, metabolism, and not eating proper meals. (I cook with my girlfriend every now and again)

    One portion of sweets per day and some syrup in your coffee is far less than “a lot”. This is also the first time I’ve ever heard of a seated role in for working a cafe.
