Here's another Dad story. When my dad was my age (early 30s) he had managed to gain 100+ pounds by being completely sedentary, eating too much and drinking about 6-12 Mountain Dews a day. Along comes his late-30s and he's diagnosed with with diabetes. He manages to lose about 40 pounds but otherwise does nothing about the diabetes. He's 54 now and four years ago his kidneys stopped functioning which meant he had to start doing dialysis. Then two years ago he suffered a minor heart attack and had an angioplasty done. Earlier this year it turns out that at some point a staph infection had taken root around the stint and flooded his body and brain. A nine hour open heart surgery and a month in the hospital mostly cleared that up until they discovered that a cyst (or something similar) had formed between his heart and his lungs which prompted another dangerous surgery. Guess what easily preventable action could have prevented all of this? Not getting obese in the first place.
