I’ve heard knees-crap-out-after-30-amirite jokes since my early 20s. It’s a form of denial coalition-building favored by folks obviously avoiding important lifestyle changes, and it’s rarely harmless to affirm that kind of denial.
In addition, unexplained joint pain is a symptom of a number of chronic illnesses that have better outcomes with early diagnosis and treatment, such as rheumatoid arthritis. If someone thinks it’s normal, they might not even ask about it until the pain and damage is life-altering.
That’s why I say it shouldn’t be treated as normal.
Could be seriously overweight. I know two 30-yo people who joke about old age hitting them hard but almost all of their issues is due to lifelong serious obesity. Not that they’re willing to accept that
Their choice. Wanna be fat? It’s okay you can be fat. Don’t want to be fat but you are still fat? Well it is often what happens.
Does this sound reasonable in any way? It’s really hard to formulate simpler sentences with altered brain by chemistry 🧾
I guess my point is that someone being fat doesn’t involve me in any way or affects me negatively. Like it makes me feel better actually if anything
Because if everyone was fit then it would be nothing special. It would be not an accomplishment at all if you could just take a pill and become fit or smh.
No it requires some special attitude and willpower. Focus, dedication, concentration. The kind of which is required for quitting cigarettes cold turkey and that is another challenge under my belt sorry for boasting a little but I like such things. I like quitting things randomly and feeling the pangs of hunger for that addiction and yet stopping it. It is satisfying to do and a source of certain sense of worth. I don’t even feel hunger for vodka anymore though I must admit that it will never stop to be seen by me as a miraculous substance and a liquid ambrosia
Quitting alcohol is strange in this way that it never stops being alluring but you get used to denying this allure just because of your sheer force of will. The more you deny yourself the stronger your willpower
One of my neighbors is an entire family of obesity. Mom and dad are both obese. The two high school boys are obese. A younger daughter that looks around 10 is obese. Only a 4ish year old boy is not obese, but he won’t be for long.
I cringe so hard when i see families like that. The daughter that looks 10 is probably like 5. They either stay fat and suffer their whole life, because gaining weight is so much easier than losing it.
That is a rough situation, as from experience I can say trying to maintain a healthy weight will cause the obese folks in the family of accusing you of being anorexic and take any opportunity to try to get you to fatten up.
They also marvel about how I must have good genetics because my back and legs don’t hurt and my blood tests come back so good at physicals.
OP probably played football in high school or something.
Perhaps, but all that’s mentioned is age.
