“I’m Sorry for 2025”
What’s worse for one’s self-esteem?
From my experience, I was broke fresh out of college and I got fat during COVID. Both experiences humbled me but one thing I will say, you realize how shallow the world is when you’re overweight.
Even when I was broke, I still had my health and self-esteem. You have neither when you’re fat. People almost want to avoid engaging with you. And the physical ailments? Even though I only gained 30lbs regular shyt was a lot harder to do.
I can live with being broke again because money comes and goes. I could never allow myself to get fat again after being in shape for 95% of my life.
And if you’re broke and fat….
