Learn to clean your butthole and keep it clean

You will get fatter unless you eat less and less for the rest of your life, probably starting around 32

Appreciate what you have. I know you think you are doing that now, but you're probably steamrolling over people and things all day long

If you are doing something awesome, remember it and document it. You'll want to revisit that many times later - see above

The healthier you eat, the more difficult it will be to become and stay overweight.

A McDonalds hamburger with a medium fries and medium drink is 1,200 calories. This is almost trivial for most people to eat.

Conversely, 1 lb of lean ground beef, 2 cups of rice (when dry), 2cups of vegetables with a dessert of two cups of fruit is also 1,200 calories, yet represents almost 3× the amount of food when fully prepared.

Eat healthy raw foods, and viciously limit your intake of highly processed foods, and you will likely remain decently slim without even trying.

Also, unless you're one of those people who legitimately doesn't care if food tastes good or not, learn to cook. You don't have to be good a cooking everything, but develop a repertoire of food that is healthy and you like to eat.

The age where you could depend on a wife to be a good cook for you are long past.
