[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You sound like a horrible person. My dad is 72, works full time at a tech company and sits all day at work and then for his hour commute each way.  Doesn't work out. Drives everywhere. Healthy as a horse.

You only care about their health in relation to what kind of grandparents they can be to YOUR children.

I'm 5'4", 245lbs, walk to and from work, use a standing desk, and walk to almost all my errands.  Today I walked 8,667 steps (I am not carrying my phone while at work, so probably more).  Despite being obese, I have no diabetes, cholesterol is healthy, blood pressure is normal, hips and knees are fine.  And I can run after a kid faster than you. But more importantly, I wear sunscreen, I vote, I'm kind, I volunteer and donate, I help friends move, and I hold doors for people. [/quote]

NP. You sound like a lovely person and I am glad you are healthy right now. It won't last, though.  You are carrying too much weight.  Your heart is a pump that is not built for that much weight on your frame.  Your knees, hips, and ankles are structural supports that are not built to carry that much weight on your frame.  Your other organs are not built to take care of that much weight.  [/quote]

And, yet, there are plenty of fat senior citizens walking around unassisted while frail elderly people use walkers and canes.  Age happens to ALL of us.  Athletes can damage their bodies while participating in sports.  Accidents happen.  Osteoporosis happens.

It sucks.  It truly does.  But that's life for you.[/quote]
