      Nobody, I usually fast until noon.

      These are problems that are solved long term, and they are simple to fix. Maybe not for yourself, but the next generation needs a sustainable paradigm to live with.

      Plan your meals with your doctor, if medication is causing it. Make sure you know if there’s alternate medication and find out if those side effects are more or less palatable than weight gain.

      Reduce your reliance on work that costs you your personal health. Start giving less until you have enough for yourself. Don’t allow work to get in the way of your life on anything but a fixed temporary basis.

      Sure, these things are difficult to do if you don’t have the habit, but they are simple. It’s less difficult to teach your children to internalise these things.

      It’s not about you. It’s about the society around you. Push the values you want your kids to grow up with.

      This defeatist stuff about how you were taught it when you were young therefore you can’t be fixed has such a blazingly simple solution.
