It's just so hot how much of a slippery slope weight gain is. Once you start to gain some weight, your appetite increases making you hungrier and able to eat more food. As you sate your appetite you gain more weight, increasing your capacity more. If you try to ignore your growing appetite, you start getting cravings for high calorie foods, a rumbling belly constantly pushing you to eat more. And so you gain more weight. Then, as your body softens with a layer of fat it becomes ever so slightly more difficult to move around. It's almost impossible to notice, but your breathing starts to get heavy on the stairs when it never would before. You start getting hungrier and hungrier trying to maintain the same level of movement as before. And you grow slightly bigger. Eventually, you'll hit a point where you become lazier, and opt out of high energy tasks like taking the stairs if you can avoid it. And suddenly, you're less active and still satisfying that growing appetite. So you get fatter still. It's such a beautiful inevitability that you'll just keep growing fatter and hungrier and lazier and fatter and hungrier and lazier and before you even realise what's happened you'll have gone from the fit muscular man I met to an obese wobbling blob. All because I helped you start to gain a little bit of weight. A sweet smile pushed you to eat a few extra snacks to start the spiral. And there's no way back from here. You're just destined to keep getting fatter.
