You get randomly picked to go join a new colony on the moon. Mass is the same on the moon as on earth, in other words if you are on wheels (a skateboard, bike, wheelchair, etc.), it takes as much effort to get moving and as much effort to stop. But with the lower gravity you’d only weigh—as in how much load you put on your feet—1/6 of what you do on earth. So if you weight 300 pounds on earth, you’d only weigh 50 pounds on the moon. You’d still have any geometrical issues from size, like thighs rubbing, belly getting in the way, etc. In other words, the only real difference is how heavy you feel, so your feet and knees would not have the same load, getting up from sitting would be easier, etc.
With a lot less load on you, would you choose to get fatter than you would on earth?
