This is why you don't stuff your face with chocolate, crisps and cream cakes. It is a well established fact that being fat has an adverse effect on the immune system: it's not just a covid thing. And as we all know, losing the blubber is much harder than gaining it. Parents who love their kids should try much harder to give them a balanced diet and make sure they do plenty of exercise.

@jemmajames6719 Losing weight isn't easy, which is why you try not to put it on in the first place. As for playing the mental health card, there was a time when people would be deeply ashamed to do this. A good percentage of mental health issues are really just serious character flaws. Some people genuinely can't help being fat, but most simply don't want to take responsibility for something that's very much their own fault!

@jemmajames6719 Every morning I look at my fat belly, and say to myself "David you are a fat bastard". I didn't have it years ago, so I know it's my own fault for over indulging and not doing enough exercise. I don't make excuses for myself.
