Subconscious attempts at fattening you up There have been stories about women who fatten up their trusting husbands after marrige, especially if the women themselves have grown fat/have no intention of staying healthy. Of course this is unnacceptable, and it follows the idea that "All's Fair in Love and War". That said, I've realized unhealthy people will do this to anyone close to them, perhaps in fear of self-worth or as a defense mechanism.  When I was a lad, I lifted weights and ate high-protein foods. Fat loss is important in powerlifting, because you compete with others in your same weight class, in a desperate attempt to avoid strong fats(sometimes fatties just show up to win the highest weight class and lift less than I did). If my parents ever saw my chest, (male)they'd comment how I should eat more, because my ribs were visible. Now, I understand if you can see the outline of a ribcage. That's unsettling and probably should indicate some fat gain. But a cast shadow across ribs is an indication of healthy weight.  In clear denial of the visible ribs of attractive people, the parents. who are both overweight (can you imagine a father using the excuse of kids to overeat? wtf is the calorie count of sperm?) seemed to desire to pull me down to their level.  All this is to say, be careful, especially to our young shits. If you would avoid the company of drug addicts, why would you seek the company of lard addicts? Both parties may try to spread their unhealthy habits to you.
