If the pants are getting a bit tight, it’s not because they’re shrinking.
Please say at ain't so!
All my pants are tight, I guess it's time to do something.
I'm going shopping!

Obese is obese.
Fat is fat.
Diabetes, which often stems from obesity, is diabetes.
Ditto with congestive heart failure.
If you are able to chose lifestyle behaviors that avoid obesity, CHF and diabetes, what should your actions be?
Depends where you look. The ones you see out and about are likely to be thinner. Go to a retirement home and you see a lot of heavier people who rarely leave there. My observation.
But I LOVE to eat food. It's my one vice. So far my weight is normal due to an excessive variety of exercises routine (every day at least 45 minutes "hard") but I believe that when my body starts to fail me I won't be able to exercise as much.
You can eat 15 pounds of low glycemic vegetables a day for only ~1,500 calories.

No you can't. If you tried to eat 15 pounds of vegetables a day, you would be in the bathroom so much, there wouldn't be time to chew and swallow them all. Think about a horse you've watched, grazing a field. It's also fertilizing the field all day long!
Intentionally left generic. What you said above plus independent living. My theory is that the elderly you see out in public may not be representative of the elderly population because the more obese may rarely leave wherever they live. Dtail observed otherwise so maybe I'm wrong.What's a retirement home? I can't tell if you mean nursing home where people are not capable of living alone do to health/mental issues or something different.
I’m single and dating so I definitely pay attention to what I eat even though I am only in my 40s (I want to remain somewhat attractive ).
Retirement home? In my area for a single room, 3 meals a day in a nice setting goes for $400 per day. For the average retiree that's not even realistic.What's a retirement home?

Good health is the greatest wealth.I'm also single though considerably older than you. I try to keep fit with an exercise routine and good eating habits. I consider myself height weight proportional. Today, being HWP is a huge advantage when tyring to atrract females. Who knew the skinny nerds of the past would be the hunks of today?
Where my parents live in a midwest town, it's 1/4 of that for independent living. Memory care isn't even that high.Retirement home? In my area for a single room, 3 meals a day in a nice setting goes for $400 per day. For the average retiree that's not even realistic.
It is the food.
Eat more plants, less meat, cheese, dairy. Eat lower calorie foods that have more nutrients.
Or don't.
Ramifications? A typical death in the late 60s or early 70s.
Only you can decide if those ramifications are tolerable.
+1. A former peer of mine said he couldn't afford healthy options. I posed a question to him, what is more expensive a $4 box of donuts or a $4 bag of raw spinach?Yes, this. It’s your (our) responsibility to manage our own obesity, or absence of it. No one else’s job but ours.
