There’s a particular kind of frustration that shows up in midlife.
You’re moving your body.You’re getting stronger.You can feel progress, even if you can’t always see it.
And then your eating habits quietly slide sideways.
Nothing dramatic. Nothing intentional. Just a slow accumulation of “this is easier,” “this is around,” “this will do for now.” Suddenly, the feedback loop between effort and outcome feels… blurry.
That’s the moment I’ve been sitting with lately.
Not because I want to “fix” my body, but because I want to understand how easy it is to lose focus on what my body can do when food becomes noisy again.
