He said diet and exercise - and you made a ton of excuses why you can't do exercise. So, if you took his advice then you ought to apologise to him for calling him a 'know-it'-all' and 'arrogant' now you are saying he was right all along and that you took (some) of his advice.
Everyone tries to exercise if they can. It's part of life. Has nothing to do with taking advice. If you are talking specific advice, then we can discuss it. But general advice like "go exercise and diet" is not real advice. Just a cliche that everyone knows and tries to follow.
I do exercise in terms of walking and jogging sometimes, yeah. But I don't go to the gym. Why should I? Going to the gym is unnatural. How come no one before modern times needed to go to the gym? Why not just take a walk in the park or go hiking? I never said I was against that. I only said I didn't like going to the gym. Be more specific. Stop overgeneralizing and finding excuse to bring others. You must have low negative energy within. If you had good positive energy you'd be trying to uplift everyone, like New Age coaches do.
That isn't true, apparently, lots of people don't even walk a half a mile in a week - as in - the total amount of steps they do comes to around half a mile which if you have obesity and high blood pressure is a killer - lots of people on this thread have given you actual advice about how you can inject strategies into your daily life but you have more or less ignored them all - just check the thread on here.
I have given specific advice about running on another thread - to start, just run from one lamppost to another and then make it two and three and build distance that way, if you are already running and have made it a regular habit and you're still obese (your words...) then you are eating far too much food - it is as simple as that! If you were eating tofu and rice and one meal a day and drinking spirulina and running - you would lose the weight quickly.
You don't have to go to a gym - I don't - buy some weights and an exercise bike for your home and when you get up, do 20 minutes on the bike listening to music before breakfast. Get a good weights regime going with a couple of adjustable dumbbells and a bench - nothing fancy but it will do the job - second hand, they literally give them away to get them out of the house.
Look, it won't be me dropping dead by the time I am 60 because I won't take on good advice about eating and my fitness. You have been on medication now for going on 15 years - whatever you have done up until now hasn't worked - maybe it is time to change things up to what works.
