Cool story.
A lot can change - everything can change - if *you* change.
I’ve been overweight before, tipping into obese on the BMI scale. I dropped 50lbs in 4 months or so of following a structured diet & exercise program. 235 to 185, much stronger and swifter on my feet. I’m currently a little but softer than I want to be so getting back to healthier habits of diet and exercise to get strong and quicker again - I want to be in the kind of shape required for functional strength when I need it, to compete with people younger than me, to keep up with people much younger than me that need to get out to hike and bike and do things that aren’t video games etc.
Mindset improves with physical health, too. All kinds of feel good brain chemicals get created and released for you to enjoy/utilize.
Improved physical and mental health improve your chances of gainful employment, too. And over a long enough time horizon, finances improve, too. A decade ago I was $110k in debt, too sick with massive ASD (and other) symptoms to work, and bankrupt. Now, sometime before the end of the calendar year I’ll be approximately the same dollar figure in the black - roughly; depends on a couple factors like if I have to shell out some cash to relocate nearby etc, but all in all my entire financial life is improved, my income is higher by leaps and bounds, my relationship with money is dramatically different etc.
I’m not bragging, merely stating the facts of my reality and that it’s entirely possible to change yourself and improve everything if you want it bad enough and decide to do it. But only you can decide to do it and then get to work, be patient and persistent, disciplined and focused. Change yourself and you change your entire life and have the ability to resolve all of the issues you currently complain about.
