I've mentioned before that my skinny fit wife became a web designer. She was initially on the marketing team as a designer where it was predominantly gorgeous young women and a daily beauty contest of one-up man ship. Segueing into web design, the web team was...... a little different.
She made fun of how all her team members were such stereotypes: severely overweight, sloppy, web coding nerds that order donuts everyday. She even once made a statement "I can't believe they can eat that stuff all day."
6 years later, she's now totally slobbed out, fat, wears glasses and brags about volunteering to pick up the Krispy Kremes so she can order a couple special donuts for herself with the corporate card each morning. Has empty vending machine trash on her desk like the rest of them. Eats all of the same junk for lunch with them. Even started watching a couple of of the same sci-fi Netflix series as them.
It's funny how much your coworkers can influence your habits. Being around obese people has definitely "normalized" behavior to her that I never could have done as a slim feeder.
