I also work hard to stay in shape and eat healthy in the hope that it rubs off on the people I care about, some of which are at high risk themselves.
I want to live a long time. I want to see my kids and their kids grow up. I want to see as much of the future as possible. I don't want to physically suffer or struggle as I get older. A few hours of work a week to add 20, 30, maybe even 40 years on my life, and make my life substantially easier. That's a fair trade off to me.
I like to put clothes that no longer fit that I want to fit into right in front of my face as a means to remind me to keep on fighting.
