Jealous. I need this because I've been burned out for like a year doing bare minimum and overeating

  Have you considered that overeating is possibly exacerbating your issues? I had serious brain fog/energy issues until I stopped being overweight.

    I don’t think they’re overeating voluntarily. It’s often a vicious cycle.

      For sure, but the point is that breaking that cycle is sometimes the single most important thing to focus on.

      I can relate to this. Before the pandemic I was really good at presenting and running workshops with groups. Then after work from home and with the gyms closed I put on 12kg pretty quickly. It changed my whole attitude and made me very insecure to the point where I never stood up in those groups. Someone else quickly moved into that role and I never regained that position and confidence I once enjoyed. I've been a bit of a shell at work ever since. Because I'd turned myself into a background character I no longer cared too much about my appearance and didn't get better. Sometimes just focusing on the basics is so important. Yes maybe it's a shallow position from me but I've never been overweight and it hit me right in the identity and flowed on to the rest of my life. I'm happy to say I went for a run yesterday and am trying to overcome this.
