A skinny person is far more likely to be healthier than an obese person.
I have a secret that I use to keep myself healthy because I watched as most everyone else in my family struggled with obesity and its related health issues.
But your comment reminds me of the times I overhear the ladies in the office trash-talking another coworker who decided to lose weight and become healthier. I've honest to god heard morbidly obese coworkers try to justify their size and claim that they are in fact healthier than our skinny coworkers.
- acabajoe 2y ago> I have a secret that I use to keep myself healthy Whats your secret?
- hollywood_court 2y agoI promise I’m not trying to sound like a jackass. But I’ve been told that my secret is offensive to some people. But it’s the same secret I’ve used to quit all of the bad habits in my life and also pivot from a ~20 year career in manual labor to a successful software engineering career. My secret is “self respect.” That’s all I used.
- Volundr 2y agoI'm trying to take you at your word that you aren't trying to be a jackass, but I'm honestly having a really hard time reading this another way so I'll ask: Are you saying that overweight people lack self-respect?
- hollywood_court 2y agoYes. I'm saying that all poor behavior stems from a lack of self respect.
- readthenotes1 2y agoIt is a somewhat laconic presentation, but what I take Hollywood to mean is that hen values hens future self more than hens current impulses, and applies constant vigilance to succeed at it. It gets somewhat preachy to promote that one should practice delayed gratification instead of YOLO.
