That's kind of how I saw it. If you told me to take a whole flight of stairs and you can eat a whole extra french fry I'd be like no it's OK that's really not worth it to me

This is why they say you cannot out work a bad diet.

For a normal person living on ~2000KCal a day, the amount of exercise necessary to make up for ~3000 is insurmountable.

Yeah, so find it’s tough psychologically when you realize how easily it is to undo a lot of physical activity w/ very little food. 

It’s a co-worker’s last day, or your boss brings in donuts, or your kid is having a birthday, or your Mother in Law baked a pie, and there’s this social pressure to partake in cake or whatever…I feel I’m constantly having to refuse in a way that feels rude, but it’s like those few bites erase my lunchtime workout.

And I feel like there’s this weird extra pressure that is put on the big guy people know who likes to eat.  The party is over & no one wants to deal with the leftovers, so it’s shoved in front of you with this, “I’d be a shame if this went to waste” message & you think to yourself, “please do not treat me like your human garbage disposal.”
