>Mfw we literally have a treadmill in the downstairs basement
>Mfw all they need to do is jump on the treadmill for 15 minutes a day to stop themselves from turning into hamplanets
>Mfw my parents are too weak willed even for that minimal amount of exercise

Dude...My parents are exactly the same. But you know what? I realised that that's their choice and I can't change that. They've succeeded. They've achieved what everyone who lifts and who focuses on appearance cares about, and that's finding a partner to spend the rest of your life with. Someone you love so much that you don't care what the fuck they look like, and who loves you so much that you can look however the fuck you want.
Stop hassling them, and focus on yourself. Seeing you succeed will make both yourself and them far happier than getting themselves fit ever could.

I would never want to be with anyone who cares so little about their health and hygiene.

In about ten years they are going to be demanding that he come over on the weekends and roll them around in wheelchairs because they had strokes and he has to help feed them and wipe their ass because they never put enough money into savings to afford at home care.
IS THIS THE FUTURE YOU WANT, OP??

Lol hardly. My parents are broke, in debt, and don't even like each other very much. They talked about divorce a few years ago but never went through with it. Only reason they're still together is because they're both too old and beta to meet anyone else.

Just keep the pressure on them brother. My parents are the same way and I finally got them to start doing cardio with a trainer.

Trick them. Buy them fitbits, get them involved in the culture. There's a reason why instagram fitness is so lucrative.

fuuuuuuuuuuuuuck that pic

It's the food, anon. They just eat shit. Walking more isn't going to help as much if they keep eating like they do.
>>37055445
find all their (non-fat) friends and stage an intervention?
or if you wanted to be passive-aggressive you could just let yourself into their house and spike all their food with bittering agent (like that stuff you put on childrens hands if you want to train them no to suck their thumb or bite their fingernails)
maybe pavlovian conditioning would work idk

Dude both your parents are already hitched and I'll assume where they want to be in life so why the fuck should they care about being pretty
If I'm 50 years old and still worried about whether people like my face or not I'll shoot myself

Yeah and the reason is "insecure 20 year olds" not "the elderly"
My mum wore a golden band around her waist when she got married. Fast forward 33 year me of marriage, and she can only wear the band as a necklace now.
