There was a good article in Rouleur this month about weight issues amongst cyclists as well. It hit close to home as that one Sanddancer posted did.
I've been typing a post and deleting a post which is related to that article for a little while. I still haven't quite got confident enough to post it.
Essentially- the tl;dr version is- I feel incredibly conflicted about this threat. At times I feel terrible for starting this thread as I feel occasionally that it a) body shames, b) enables exercise bulimia, and c) is more damaging than helpful.
On the other hand it really helped me at the beginning when I was overweight, and I suspect helped a few others.
@Sainsburys_Ed I'm 90% sure I'm healthy.

"I'm talking about the weight-obsessed, chocolate-dodging bloke on the club ride. A few weeks ago you were shocked you could see his veins, with the passage of time you could see his ribs and boney angles that simply weren't there before, but what you can’t see is his smile.".... @Dammit, is that you?!
Jokes aside, that article is hard hitting stuff and various other thoughts that are too close to home.
