Thank you for continuing to write, Tanja. I always find your articles so interesting, whatever the topics are. I definitely relate to your summer of disinterest. For me, I can blame it on grief from some big personal losses this spring. The food angle is interesting, as I had been losing weight through diet and exercise, then completely lost my appetite from grief and lost more weight. But I’ve been eating a lot more junk food, and perhaps that contributes to the lack of energy and motivation. And yet, going to McDonald’s has been one of my only sources of comfort in this time, and it’s almost a ritual at this point to eat in my car while staring out the window. When I make it through this time in my life, I’m sure I will drop the bad habits again, but for now, I’m embracing any craving as a first step back toward motivation.
I just found your substack from a threads profile. Keep up the great work! I'm sorry that the weightloss journey has taken a bad turn with the meds. I've lost over 100 pounds the old fashioned way. Cutting down on sugars, regular exercise, etc. is a slow process, but rewarding. Best of luck to you! Желаю успеха!
