[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I didn't care for the better part of a decade. And I didn't care that I didn't care. I like eating. Fortunately I have decent metabolism - probably should have been obese but ended up technically only 15 pounds overweight on the BMI chart.  I absolutely did not want to spend my DDs teen years dieting or worrying about my weight after my mom shamed me into an ED in high school.

[b]I was so bored during the COVID lockdown that I decided to make a little project out of myself. [/b]I lost 40+ pounds over about 7 months and have kept it off for 2 years. All I really did was stop eating huge quantities of junk food. I don't really regret my decade of eating even now (and I still eat a lot even if I'm not regularly eating 800 calories of ice cream in one sitting anymore).

OP here and I think maybe the opposite is part of it for me. (Congratulations by the way!) I have two young kids and very very little free time. The times when I've been fittest and at my best weight as an adult were when I had tons of flexibility and didn't feel so overwhelmed. Resetting comforting habits really does sound like a project and I'm at capacity.

That said, I look terrible and my clothes do too. It's nice to hear others understand what it's like. But what's the secret to tricking ourselves into caring?
