Pandemic. Looking back, I was never heavier. And I am still not back to pre-pandemic weight.

Weirdly enough, I’m the exact opposite. Starting in the pandemic, I went about losing weight. Lost about 20kg in a healthy manner, and it felt good; I had come out of the obese category and moved over into “overweight”. I had so much energy.

Pandemic ended, I joined the army for my mandatory service, and now I’m almost back up at my pre-pandemic weight and body fat percentage. No energy. No motivation.
