In a sense I am thankful I graduated into the covid lockdowns. It made this dramatic change obvious to me, and I made a similarly dramatic change in my diet. I went from literally having a buffet every meal in college to having a cup of coffee for breakfast, and what I would consider a normal sized meal for dinner. I realized after about 2 years of this that I was borderline under-weight, so I decided to start eating more. It was a struggle to gain weight, but now I am at a much healthier weight.

My extended family does not understand how I have not been gaining weight while I work from home. The truth is I simply do not eat more than I need to.

I eat when I'm hungry, not when a clock says I should.

Edit: My family doesn't understand why I haven't gotten the family beer belly most males in my family and extended family have.

Hunger is anchored to our circadian rhythm which nearly coincides with the clock. So we tend to be hungry around the same time each day.
