Is your weight loss struggle a metaphor for your life in general?

Content warning: I’m going to talk about weight gain caused by a lack of self discipline. A lot of people in this sub have more complex stories and a lot of (totally valid) reasons they got to where they got to. That isn’t my story - this question is aimed at people like me who got fat because they were lazy/greedy YMMV.

That said - does anyone else have patterns in their life that look similar to their battle with weight? I have a hugely self indulgent streak - it’s always “you deserve that, treat your self”.

I’ve known for a long time it was true for my eating, but I now realise it’s also true in other areas like how I spend money (mostly on food - but also on other things) and how I spend my time - even how I approach work and family (you can sleep through the baby crying tcon025 - you deserve this hour of sleep).

In my case this is super destructive - and I’m realising it is a huge overarching flaw in my character - one that will be really bad for me in the long term if I let it metastasise.

I guess what I’m asking - did weight loss cause anyone else to come face to face with their inner dirtbag? How did you respond? Are you better off yet?
