I dont feel that Im better than anyone, i just fail to understand why anyone would want to stay in that state of depression or feeling like that when literally 1 workout could change their life and overall sense of well-being.
yeah agreed, which is why I included skinny

And yep, but not everyone is you - in fact nobody is. You/I/we can't understand why someone would want to stay in that state of depression because

a) nobody *wants* to
b) they are *in* it, so aren't looking at it from a rational viewpoint, as someone who *isn't* in that state would do.

Nothing anyone says or does changes that for that person, they have to hit their own point where the lightbulb comes on for them, then they take the first piece of action, and so on, until they also can't believe that they thought like they did when back in that state.
