I know that people will see this as cruel or similar, but one of the reasons I said a hard no to getting any fatter than I already was is seeing so many obese people with overpronated feet, and knee varus and valgus. Unsurprisingly this is very bad for you — it pretty much inevitably leads to chronic pain throughout your lower body and arthritis over time.

However, what bothers me about it is how it looks. Someone with knees bent inward or outward and whose feet are the same just looks…unnatural. I truly do not know how people let things get so far gone where they are visibly destroying very obviously their legs and then just keep on eating. This hints at how very strong the hunger drive is in most people, I think.

Anyway, I don’t intend cruelty or shaming, but all I had to do to be motivated to eat less was imagining how very much I didn’t want my legs and feet to get to that state.

I look at houses a lot. My partner does, too. Mainly so we’ll know what we want when prices inevitably get the shit kicked out of them again, which they will. It’s inevitable. Then we’ll be ready to buy. And I see all these places with words on the wall, like this one:

“Home?” Like, did you forget where you were? The Alzheimer’s getting to be a little too much?

And this is another one I found. I made an addition, though. Doesn’t look as good as it could because I don’t have Photoshop on this compy:

I don’t understand it, especially that latter one which looks like it was scrawled by a third-grader.
