When I gain weight, that's all I can think about.

Stress, emotional overeating

Thinking about gaining weight makes me wanna eat more.

health only going to get worse, 41 years old. dyssergenic defecation. bowel movements take 15-30 minutes and sometimes fail. Straining. gastroenterologist told me to get a colonoscopy and i haven't done it b/c afraid of physical pain. excretory system, and the rest of my worthless corpse, rapidly getting weaker and slower physically and mentally.

my dumpsterfire "job" could make my worthless corpse redundant @ any time, for any reason or no reason, without notice. besides, it's just minimum wage and part time

nervous disposition

zero "friends". "parents" dead a longfuck time ago. zero kids. no car. no cash.

constantly afraid of: identity theft, coronavirus, dogs, cars, physical/sexual assault, fat, disability

I've gained a lot of weight as an adult when I started taking medication for my anxiety and depression.

cockney

used to be on prozac, zoloft, ativan, propranolol, wellbutrin. did not affect weight

plenty of diseases and prescriptions cause weight gain and weight loss.

"life" goes on.

when i was 12, i thought i would've accomplished by now:
STEM degree
STEM job
boston marathon
married and family
financially stable and middle class

what i accomplished instead:

made redundant from plenty of minimum wage "jobs"
single and no kids (that could be good or bad)
useless bachelors and associate's degree
zero "friends"
not published, no patents

Eating some popcorn twice a week should help your colon problems. I can say from experience...

Maybe I gained weight because I love food.

cockney

your weight gain was not a controlled experiment. the weight gain could have been for plenty of different reasons, such as medication and overeating.
___________________________________________________________________________

now that i'm 41, it's hard to imagine that i might accomplish anything worth the time, money, and energy. pregnancies after age 35 called "geriatric pregnancy." my health has been rapidly plummetting: physically weaker and slower, dyssergenic defecation, itchy, naps two hours after waking up, metabolism dropping, exhausted all the time, and my health is only going to get worse w/age.

my parents dropped dead @ 66 and 71. 41 is not really that young to drop dead. elvis allegedly dropped dead from constipation in the litterbox @ age 42. my sister's friend's brother dropped dead @ 33. sooner or later, everyone drops dead.

besides, my financial situation has always been very fragile and afraid of ending up homeless.

living as long as possible, not always a good thing.

I must add to my post above that you need to drink your 64-72 ounces of water each day for the popcorn trick to do its thing. With the water you should see results within 2-3 weeks.
