 When I’m out in public watching humans in the wild, I find myself consistently looking at certain folks and asking this question.👇

How is it even possible to get that fat?🤔

Like when ur 44 years old, can literally barely move around, and struggle breathing…what the fuck happened?

Isn’t there a point of fatness where people stop, realize it’s ruining their life, and make it a huge focus to be have some self respect and be less fat?

Realize there are legit exceptions like mental illness, depression, hypothyroid, Cushing’s etc., but HEAVILY obese homo sapiens are ALL OVER in increasing numbers. It’s really hard to wrap one’s head around.
