Dad bod is just "I don't care anymore" body.
not really. i care a lot. i try to hit the gym after a 10-11 hour workday. after coming home and playing with the kids, doing house chores, feeding them and putting them to bed. but by 9PM, i am too fucking exhausted to do any kind of proper workout. so i do the bare minimum and come home at 10. i now have 2 hours to watch tv, play games and eat dinner before starting over.
doesnt help that once you hit 30, losing weight becomes harder than ever. in my 20s, i was easily able to lose 40 pounds in a matter of a few months. but now, after a year and going to the gym 3-4 times a week, i would be lucky to maintain my weight.
yes, i put my kids over my weight, but if i dont and leave them to my wife who has been dealing with them for 10-11 hours while ive been at work, i would both be a terrible father and a terrible husband.
TLDR, i care about things that matter. my kids think im a superhero. i think i'll be alright.
