No, I work in health care and I see a lot of sick folks...and many of them would kill to be fit and healthy but life and circumstance had other plans. I just see it differently.

Nothing is shallower than the ‘you body is what makes me love you’ attitude-— all it takes is one accident, one blood vessel to blow, one blood chem to go wrong....and that ‘fit healthy’ person will now be grateful just to be alive.

Much less loved for themselves. Yeah-— nothing is more contemptible than someone who bitches at a spouse whose gained 50 pounds after fighting a disease and going on meds.

I’ve seen it and there’s a special place in hell for them.

Fit and healthy? I mean, how narrow is the margin? One size too large? 10 pounds too much? Ok, but what if they’re still a size 14 in great cardio shape and with great lab work and genetics that mean they’ll live until they’re 99?

And most of all, they are alive!

Again, SIGH.... You are talking about a VERY small number of people. I see perfectly normal people all day who just stuff their faces with junk. No medical issue other than not giving a damn.

OF COURSE, I would consider a real medical issue to be a valid reason.... geeeeezzzz. But that is NOT what I have been addressing.
