I tended toward thin my first 45 year but since I've gone fat. As long as I was still playing baseball I'd have to look to put on weight for the season. I REALLY like to eat.
I've been close to 300 pounds twice, I lost 75 pounds a couple years ago but got it all back during quarantine. I'm down about 25 headed for 75 right now with a diet I think will be sustainable for me.
The ONE thing I've done is remain active. My dog and I are waiting for sunrise and our morning walk. About 3 miles for me and probably 5 for him.
Anyway, that is my way of saying that I understand your list and certainly agree with it-except for maybe the cat part :)
Thank you for sharing that with us.
