When you say "eating less and exercising more is the wrong approach", do you not think that this narrative is exactly the opposite of what science tells us? It's quite clear that if we do eat less, we will weigh less. And that the American Medical Association (and medical associations around the world) agree that most of us do not meet the physical activity guidelines, such as high intensity cardio and weight training recommendations.

What are your thoughts on your love life or sex life? How would you deal with the accessories if you got the chance to get laid?

I'm sorry to hear that. I'm so used to seeing perfect people online that it would be hard to imagine seeing something so un-perfect. I just did a search for "stoma bag" using google images and there are a bunch of fit looking individuals posing with them. I could get used to my partner having one.

I hear ya on that one. Feels terrible knowing people would be in pain when you die, so to minimize that, you isolate. But I'm sure most would feel it is worth making a friend.

I don't know about everyone else here, but my teachers used to tell our classrooms that we basically couldn't screw anything up, because universities would frown upon bad grades/failed classes. And the idea of doing a victory lap year was out of the question. It felt like we would only get one shot at life, and if you didn't do your best, you were out. I didn't realize it back then, but I think that discouraged me and every little task felt impossible.
