Well let me put it this way: You should avoid getting out of bed, not to mention going out to play, as you are so weak. Here not to mention is used to say it goes without saying, or one need not mention at all As for your sentence, it means Firscher who is worried about becoming a sugar addict, would feel worse if he is going to become obese.
