I'm sure a lot of you lovely people have had a similar experience.
My entire life, I was told at every life event, I was going to get fat.
"Just wait until you get out of highschool and stop doing year round sports, you'll go to college and get fat. Freshman 15."
Nope.
"Later, in college when it starts getting harder and stressful you'll put on weight."
Still nope.
"Now that you've graduated, when you get a real job and real stress you'll start to put on pounds."
Got a "real" job. Still not fat.
"Once you start a family and don't have time to workout, that's when it'll hit ya."
My kids 7.
"Now that you're over the hill, your metabolism is going to crash and there's no avoiding it."
Still got the same measurements as I did in college.
"Oh, well, erm... you're just one of the lucky ones."
What? No. This is not by chance. It's not juneticks, nor metabolism, and definitely not luck.
Point to flat toned stomach, greying body hair and all.
This was not an accident. My wife and I earned the bodies we have. It's your own fat faults you let yourselves use every excuse to join the subspecies. Take some goddamned responsibility.

Crabs in the barrel bro. Misery loves some company. Relish the feeling of never being like them, and triggering their fat asses every times you hit another of their arbitrary milestones and you're still human. They always look back to themselves at whatever age you are now and remember how nasty and fat they were even then compared to in shape, fit YOU. We are better than them. Nothing wrong with accepting that you can love your family, but also, silently realize that you are the supreme expression of your genetic line. Carry yourself accordingly and don't even suffer their hate and fatlogic for a hot second. Find/fake something pressing to attend to.

It's funny because what's next? "When you retire..." Now they've resigned to actively wishing me injury.
"You're going to ruin your knees if you keep jogging like that."
"Your backs going to go if you keep lifting, hiking with camping gear, chopping your firewood, etc."
That's what OTC anti-inflamatories and hot pads are for. My siblings are all on a fistfull of prescriptions a day. And THEY are trying to give ME health advise?
Edit: and ice packs
