What causes people to stop working out in the first place? Not really a hate post. Does anybody have an idea about what causes people to stop working out in the first place.  I've known hams who exercised regularly before they blew up.  They started eating more even, though they were working out, then they start skipping workouts.  These were people who enjoyed working out, not a chore for them. So, is there like some kind of cause where between % body fat leads to sloth and ballooning, or am I just trying to look in the wrong place?
