> I'm going off on a tangent, but if I had to give one piece of advice to any young person it would be to get to a healthy weight. Following that tangent, I had a couple of family members turn 16 recently and I wondered what advice I could give them now that they are adults (or, at least, they will certainly believe that to be so! Ah, the folly of youth:) My thoughts settled on what would basically be me telling my younger self about my regrets or (perceived) failings in life and to avoid them. I then wondered if they'd listen, which I doubt (again, the folly of youth) and whether I'd even be able to put it in a form that they would understand. Rather like me trying to teach them programming before they've opened a terminal or even an HTML file, I can't tell them the deepest insights until they've done quite a bit and failed quite a bit too. I haven't decided on my advice yet or if I should, but yours sounds good. Still, it's hard to realise what unhealthy means when you're young and fit, even if it's only relative to your older self.
