You said in a recent post that it’s fine to want to do something that is dangerous to your life. Do you get off on the fact that gaining weight could potentially harm you? Asking in good faith, not judgmentally or as a gotcha haha
No, of course not, that would be death-feederism, which isn't really my thing.
But lots of things are dangerous in life. Skiing, Racing, Working with dangerous animals. The difference is people find these acceptable because they don't inherently find it disgusting out of personal bias.
You know, footballers are 3.5x more likely to die from a neurogenerative disease than someone who doesn't play? 5 times for Alzheimers. Does anyone ever go "ooohhh you must get off on having brain diseases".
Pilots are 25% more likely to get cancer
Working a night shift job versus a day shift one can cause immense long term repercussions on various circadian functions, it's desrcibed as on par with a group 2A carcinogen
SCUBA diving carries extreme risk of attack from wildlife, decompression, asphyxiation/drowning.
Cave divers are infamous for getting stuck, needing hundreds of man hours of specialist rescue work.. even then, often resulting in death.
Do you think any of these groups typically get horny from those risks? some might sure.. but the overwhelming majority do not.
I know my gaining has its own risks, many conditions are twice as likely to occur in obese patients as regular people, some even more than that.. I'm aware. Of course I'm aware. But much like the SCUBA diver the the footballer.. it makes me happy, I enjoy my life more this way and has often been one of the few things keeping me going during really down and depressed times.. at least there was something in my life I liked and enjoyed. Something that was my own.
Statistically, I'll die early. Very early. Someone born in 97 in the UK is expected to make it to 85, my issues currently make that then go down to about 69, providing I look after myself properly, which I currently do. This is rough, yes, 16 years of life lost, providing I don't have new issues or worsening issues. But it's 16 years lost for, assuming we start counting from 30, 39 years of happiness. Why should I be miserable for 54 years, just so I can say "well at least it was more"? Sometimes less is more. The irony of a gainer saying that in an educational sense is not lost on me...
People who tell me I should live to 100 because it's more life are, honestly, morons. They're completely missing the point of being alive. We can experience joy, laughter, spirit, love, peace... why trade that away just for more time? More time where, let's be frank.. when you're 90 and over.. The odds are life is extra miserable anyway.
