    I just mean that it seems kind of strange to equate looking somewhat unhealthy with enjoying your life.

      “It’s strange that people think they can enjoy life in ways that I don’t enjoy” is definitely a take.

      Oh it would.

      I feel better being more fit because a lot of my interests (and my job) are very physical, and being as large as I am now makes doing the things I enjoy doing more difficult.

      Not everyone has those interests or that type of work, and that’s okay, too. We all have value.

        That’s exactly how I see it. One should not generalize. However, that is what is done in this picture.
