I'm at a video gaming event eight now. It goes all week, so I'm staying in the hotel with my friends. Though I'm being much more loose with my diet than usual, I'm still generally trying to make good choices and get exercise by way of the hotel gym, which is pretty nice.
Although most people arw (surprisingly) fit or normal sized, it being an event related to gaming, of course there are lots of fatties too. The amount of stereotypes that are 100% true is amazing. For example, getting a salad at dinner (drowned in ranch) with diet coke because "I don't drink; it's unhealthy," only to go to Jimmy Johns twice and down a whole six pack of heavy beer later that night (true story).
They had a pizza party for all attendees, and all were limited to two pieces. I only took one because I want to drink tonight, so calorie counting blah blah blah. I had multiple fat people ask if they could have my other one.
I'm pretty excited because for the first time ever, I have witnessed the "fat person coming to the gym and slowly pedaling the recumbent bike for ten minutes and then leaving." I mean, I'm sure it's happened in my presence before, this is just the first time I noticed it.
I've been coming to this particular event for a few years, and as its continued to grow, so has the people attending's size. It's a bit annoying, but inevitable, I suppose.

That's also common in the furry fandom too. All they ever do is play video games and avoid going outside as much as possible. They also wear the same shirt days on end too.
