    I’ve been into games that let me check out and be mindless for a few minutes!

    Good question! For me, it was disconnecting for 2 hours a week. Nothing but your gear and body on the mat, so it was nice to not worry about anything related to work (I teach high school English and work ever ends lol). I suppose it could be meditative, I am definitely much more tuned in with my body (mostly due to injuries sustained sparring with people in their teens to mid twenties while I am in my 30s).

    Congratulations on your health journey. It seems like through these endeavors we learn quite about ourselves.

    I remember always being an overweight kid. My father would put me through sports to lose weight and I grew to dislike sports. I struggled with weight until I got married that my wife went on the keto diet. At first, I hesitated, but joined in. I lost quite a bit of weight, but as you state, unsustainable and once we went off keto, we gained some weight back.

    However, we have been losing weight again (albeit very slowly) by walking more and waiting 5-10minutes after we finish our food to see if we want more or not.

    I have also joined an MMA gym, but got injured 2 months in, so after I finish physical therapy, I will be returning! I think in addition to helping with weight loss, MMA (or any physical activity) has improved my mental health. The improvement in mental health has improved by outlook, which has helped me make better dietary choices. I still eat fast food and food that is not too nutritionally healthy, but I only eat on training days ;).

    Thanks for your sharing your story and taking time to learn about the story of others!
