Why does your obsession with your own body seep into hatred for those who do not lead a similar life to the one you do?
A “perfect body” isn’t within range for most people. People can lose weight and still have loose skin. With age we will all sag, wrinkle, our skin will thin and become soft.
The illness thing is true, but someone can have a sudden onset of an illness or a need to take a medication that causes rapid weight gain. Can they lose it? Often times yes. However they may not be able to look exactly as they did and they may have to entirely change the way they eat and take care of themselves. (Like women with PCOS, for example. You’d assume strenuous exercise gives be best results but this hormonal imbalance requires slower exercise. If cortisol levels spike from intense exercise it makes the condition worse. This isn’t something commonly known even though 1/5 women have the condition)
Some of the highest prescribed medication in the western world is terrible for weight gain. It’s also horrible for killing a persons will and drive. Really bad combination.
Why does it matter though? What a different persons buddy looks like doesn’t change your life in any way.
Regardless, what someone else’s body looks like really shouldn’t create the level of hatred you have for others who don’t spend hours in the gym each week.
Consumerism? What on earth does consumerism have to do with not having your head up your ass? You literally refer to yourself as perfect twice there so…. Pretty safe to say your head is quite far up there

It's true, I'm perfect and proud of it) Well, you are looking for aesthetics in these bodies, which is in the post above. I repeat, good luck with everything, I don't want to talk to you. I am very sorry that you spent so much time writing this long essay to me. Good luck

Lmao, texting a few paragraphs on mobile only takes a few minutes. Don’t worry about the time I spent.
You sound like the kind of guy who would weigh his girlfriend every day and try to control her food based on what you believe would make her “perfect”. Good luck with that.

My girlfriend also goes to the gym with me and by the way, not on my initiative, thank you for taking care of this

As you get older and mature a little bit you’ll realize the world is a lot more complex than what you perceive as perfect people and flawed people.
Until then, have fun I guess

There are no perfect people, there are people WITH and WITHOUT willpower. If we consider this case

Again, as you grow and mature you’ll realize there’s a lot more grey area in life. There isn’t as clear lines between weak and strong as you seem to think. Once you go through enough life experiences hopefully you’ll be able to develop a bit more of a compassionate mind.
