Why not both? #2 for me, because you can work on weight if you put in the effort. Just buy a personal trainer with the above average net worth money you have.

I’m not overweight but there is a reason the majority of the US is.

I would rather be 45 and not have to contemplate this ridiculous hypothetical.

Haha exactly partner 1. I just hope to get to 45 and not have wealth or obesity be the things Im contemplating. So much more to life and so many deeper problems. I’d hope I was healthy among many other things that have nothing to do with money or physical appearance.

What do you consider average net worth for #1?

Good question, let’s say $500k is average net worth at 45.

Anyone else struggling with hormones / mood swings? I am almost 16 weeks and been having a real tough time lately, feeling really down and stressed about things. Sadly, causing tension between me and my partner as well as he cannot relate and seems preoccupied with business as usual. Trying to get out the funk and just telling myself it’s all the hormones.

Sweaty post-workout question. If I finish a bike or run in the heat I am usually just pouring sweat for the next 15 or so mins. So I've gotten into the habit of just putting a towel or yoga mat down on the floor and laying/stretching until I am not going to throw sweat everywhere or step in to the shower and step out still sweating. Is there a better version of this maybe for recovery or even just not wasting time waiting?

Just tired, still bloated and not feeling all that hopeful as we enter this LONG wait until we get the results next week. I hate feeling like this knowing my chances are getting slimmer by the day.

I’m having a really hard time with my changing body. 13 weeks, I don’t have too many bad side effects of pregnancy or anything so I consider myself lucky (no nausea ever etc) but I’m depressed at work, my skin is completely broken out and showing new broken face capillaries, and I’m not showing a bump yet so I just feel fat and big. I don’t know where this “glow” is but I look in the mirror and literally am grappling with not recognizing myself :( it’s been impossible to find any clothes too.
