This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

For everyone, I'd like to point out that the bones on this man were the same size, carrying 150kg vs carrying 100kg. They would continue to be the same size at 70 or 60kg.
Imagine, the next time you wonder how fat people have poor health outcomes: the same 10 square centimeters of bone in the legs could be carrying 40, 50, or a full 100 kg of weight. Or worse, the cross section of cartilage between the bones. Or worse. More weight than that.
Yeah, I'm still obese. I almost got down to overweight, I was within 3kg, but... I've had/been some setbacks. By height + BMI, I should be targeting 165lbs. / 75kg, but I'm still finding it impossible to stick to a diet that provides a calorie deficit. (I have in the past, but don't seem to now.)
My physical health is better by basically any metric. I encourage anyone that is overweight to lose it.
How do you know they are a man?
My profile indirectly discloses that. I don't think it matters much for the story, but I am a cis white male.
