You also don't lose weight by laying around all day. You lose weight by using more calories than you consume, and laying around doesn't use very many calories.
Plus, diet can easily be part of the same feedback loop. I guess I didn't really state the mental health aspect, but the less you move around the worse on your mental health. And what's a pretty common way people cope with mental health problems like depression? Food. Exercise could help mentally but oh no you're too fat and depressed and exercising is a major pain to start doing both physically and mentally. I've lived this for years, I still live it even though I've managed to lose some weight. It's a horrible loop.

That happened to me for a few years after college and then a bit during covid. Shit sucks and it's a really easy spiral to go down when fast food is so cheap. :deeper-sadness:
I didn't say it was a perfect indicator. I said being fat is inherently unhealthy, with one example being it leads to a drop in exercise, which leads to physical and mental problems, which leads to less exercise and more weight.
Yeah because that's so easy. Again, weight -> less exercise -> worse mental health, worse physical health -> food to cope, less exercise -> more weight -> repeat. I'm not saying people get fat because of a lack of exercise, I'm saying it's a feedback loop that makes your life worse and worse.
I was just saying that how heavy you are has very little to do with actual fitness. Sure, it can make you more inclined to not exercise, but that’s a huuuuuge reach.
It literally makes it physically harder to exercise...
No. The harder exercise is, the less you exercise. This isn't lifting a slightly bigger weight or running a little further. At one point I would get a pain in my diaphragm after walking for just like 5 minutes. When that's the case you tend to just not try at all.
