    I’ve got a cousin like you – football club all day every day. Ate like a wolf and ran it all off within an hour.

    Then he quit football and chonked up because he didn’t know how to reduce his food intake

      Oh man, that hits home… just before COVID hit, I was doing 5k’s and got injured. And I didn’t transition to a lower calorie intake to adjust to the lower physical activity. Just as I was starting to get back into the gym… COVID landed and the gym was closed. Now, I’m a fat bastard. But trying to work on that.

        I mean I think it happened to all of us. I used to cycle 30km a day before COVID, and then once work became fully remote, I just started hibernating for winter and never stopped.

        Also a fat bastard, but I live in the hope that it’s nothing that a gym can’t fix. Here’s to 2026, friend!
