I hate that they are so stupid they literally don't get it. My friend was hit by a car pretty recently and was basically immobile for weeks. At first, she was eating like normal. She had to train herself to cut back. When she came to visit me in LA, she didn't want to go to Universal or Disney. She wanted to hike a lot and do that beach walk from Venice to Santa Monica, even though she still has pain in her legs, especially on one side. She is proud of herself when she pushes through it. She also didn't want me to take her out to eat, she wanted to stop at the store, get healthy foods, and cook here for herself.  Like if you find yourself fat, the one thing you can do is change your habits. It works. Reeing into a pint of ice cream doesn't work and will make you feel worse in the long run.
