Fatties are people who think buying/consuming crap will solve their problem. That's why they buy fitbits and expensive bullshit diet plans and pills and a million bullshit weight loss products instead of fucking eating less.

People who have accepted ads as their purpose in life.

Same reason they have neon hair and brand name clothing. It is a signal. They are signalling that they are health conscious to others who they feel may not be aware or who need to know they are health conscious. The hair signals that they are eccentric, unique, youthful, progressive, and exuberant and the clothing signals a level of economic status, fashion knowledge, and personality. That's the intention anyway. Many of these are deliberately false signals trying to hijack the message of the original. Fortunately, we have evolved to not only receive signals, but to identify false signals that allow us to understand that the hair, clothes, Fitbit, and obesity indicate narcissism, stupidity, gullibility, obnoxiousness, greed, etc. The arms race is in the sender of deceptive signals creating sufficiently deceptive signals and in the receivers identifying new and false signals.

Look at my fitbit, it HAS to be the hormones!

I repeat myself: we live in the age of magic.

So that they can feel justified when they complain about how "difficult" it is to get 10,000 steps a day.

Land whales are the only ones I see wearing those. Every fat piece of shit in my office wears one.

I have one, like the quick stopwatch for timing planks or stress holds. Is comfy as a watch as well, and the basic heart rate monitor us nice with my Low blood pressure issues. But do I 5gink it magically is the reason I'm thin? Fuck no. Too many days but these things for the delusion, not the actual use they get out of it.

It reminds me of how work thought I was cheating because I regularly get 20k steps and most of the people in the fitness challenge couldn’t get 5k daily. They were all obese and wanted to get leaner.

I guess it’s good to know how far you’ve got to go in life but these people never seem to want to change.

Virtue signaling. The Fitbit is supposed to show you how much they care about health and exercise. Their bodies tell the truth. For those of us who actually do care about health and exercise, Fitbits just signal how little you know about either.
