Your way of turning things for the better is nice and definitely better for mental health, but the problem of the person being over-weight is still there. The small part takes over the big part.

You get an amazing experience but at the same time you slowly decrease your overall resistance and health. No matter how “right” that thought may look like in my own internal values system, if it triggers feelings of anger, revenge or fear, it’s a negative thought. And then a little bit more. Money is just raw energy.
