What I have been told, however, is that I wont stay lean like this all my life and will start gaining weight as I get older. That I’m still waiting for to happen.
Ha, same. I’m 37 and had my reckoning a bit. I was a bean pole kid, though I worked at it, swaam competitively, played sports my whole life, did the military thing. Got my own kids now, and COVID was peak lazy for me, and took me some time to get out of. Getting back on the exercise thing was tough, and the pounds did come on in the interim. Nothing crazy, but definitely noticeable for me.
My parents didn’t talk down to me like that.

They told me i’d gain 10lbs a decade and they’ve been right so far but I’m not unhealthy or massively overweight so eh.

Same! What they didn’t count on is an autoimmune disease that makes it difficult for me to gain weight.
