Damn, I wish I'd known this decades ago

I specifically asked doctors and they were like "I dunno. Well, that was a fun 5 minute conversation, give me $300"

I guess it's never too late, though. I've been slacking off on getting in shape, since it does take raw willpower 20 times a day every day in order to get there and stay there, and it's not that compelling to think that I'm going to be stuck rolling willpower checks all the time forever.

If I just have to get in shape and force myself to stay that way through raw willpower for ~4 years in order to stay that way for free afterward, though, that sounds like a more worthwhile goal

It is never too late. And please don't beat yourself up when you fail. Simply sigh, dust yourself off, and try to do better. Given that you have to maintain this for years, you will sometimes fail--it's inevitable.

There is increasing amounts of science behind this stuff, but it's also buried behind a gargantuan pile of crap.

Good luck.
