Once a person has a BMI of 55 or 60, everthing in life starts getting increasingly difficult. I'm speaking as someone with a wife who is short, 5'1", and who briefly hit 355lb. At that weight, when I'd try to take her to shows, she couldn't fit in the seats. Going up a single flight of stairs was possible but slow and arduous. If I parked more than like two spots from a building entrance she'd be mad bc it was too far to walk. She'd wake up in the morning and her hip would hurt if she'd slept too long on one side. But if she'd sleep on her back, her lower back would ache. She had to change the way she shaved her legs in the shower (and got hurt when the stepstool she used broke.) Same with putting on her shoes. About the only thing she could do for any long period of time was put her feet up and watch TV.
tbf she also hates to exercise or even stretch, so some of this is her own fault bc her conditioning sucks. Mentioning that bc KK was wise enough to avoid that trap. But it's a very rare woman who GENUINELY wants to hit 500, 600 lbs. Typically you've got to be quite young and in your prime years of health - once you hit a certain age you just know that's not going to make your life enjoyable. It's literally just a fantasy that models are selling us. (I'm not saying they might not get off to it. That's what fantasies are for.)
But back to my wife, even losing 10% of her weight (from ozempic - she's type II diabetic) made a noticeable difference. She talks about it constantly and as a result she has no wish to gain back that weight, which is too bad for me because she was crazy hot at 350. But she's still fat at 312 and it makes her a heck of a lot happier...
