As a kid, you have the time but not the money.

As an adult, you have the money but not the time.

It's the metabolism one.

I could consume 4000 kcal most days as a teenager without putting on weight. That is no longer the case and adjusting has been difficult. I'd need to go near 2000 to lose weight.

Yeah, as a kid in high school, one of my go-to high snacks was an Entenmann's All Butter French Crumb Cake (~1740 calories) and a half gallon of 2% milk (~950 calories). It wasn't an everyday thing, but I'd house it no problem, and it wasn't the only thing I'd eat that day. I also swam competitively, although as I've grown older I've learned that it's essentially unrelated, and that your metabolism is just your metabolism, essentially regardless if your activity levels. I had trouble breaking 140 pounds at 5'8.

That all stopped. It's pretty incredible how it all just stops. I'm still fairly active, but I wouldn't consider eating more than a serving at this point, and I instead have trouble cracking 165 (except from above this time). Oh well, this is life.

I use the example in the meme a lot. As adults we're in a post-scarcity mindset. If you tell a kid you can eat chocolate ice cream for 3 meals a day and don't do it because you don't want to (because you know you shouldn't), it would blow their minds. You're growing up when you get access to things and stop thinking "if you can" and start thinking "if you should".

for me it's not that i think that i shouldn't, but i can't. i just cannot ingest that much sugar at once, i get really bad feelings from that!

My knee swells up. Highfive, we're old.

I started feeling like an adult when I stopped doing things just because my mother had told me not to.
