This was my life 2-3 years ago! Almost exactly. Definitely was deranged, no argument there. But I got in shape for the first time in my life (-90lbs), found a romantic partner, and got a ridiculously well paying job, all within a year. So, yeah, definitely worth it!

So after losing 90 lbs you lost 300 more and found 5 other romantic pattners and 3 more jobs?

I think the comment you're replying to was trying to point out that growth mindset should not be forever.

At some point, obsessive focus on growth has to lead way to something more sustainable.
