I'm 175cm, so 77 is a bit too much. It's clearly about eating, and not about exercising, because when I used to train 5-6 days a week my weight could go up to 82. And when I stopped with intensive training (various injuries) and switched to mostly yoga/qigong, my weight dropped to 72. However, it does not work now, and I eat A LOT LESS, than 5 years ago. Low carb diet helped in the beginning, not anymore π

According to what the Indians say (I kinda trust them here), the food fetish conditioning (my words, not theirs π) must be broken. If you are hungry, or full but just want to munch on something tasty, and you are about to grab that something - wait 5 min, THEN eat. That's to break the pattern of getting instant and simple pleasure on the peak of your desire.

Can you link me to where you found this information? I would like to show it to my wife for her sake. I think she goes through this snacking and munching more than I do and I know she wants to cut back on snacking. I can't get her to wear latex or anything else fetishy until she feels she's lost enough weight.

I've seen it in one of Sadhguru's videos. There are hundreds of them, very difficult to find. I will try, but no promises.

That's the usual problem - pure dopamine π

Ok, it was the fire that caused me to get fat.
That has to be the answer.

Do you want to work on getting into a better shape now or are you content to stay as you are?

At 1.86m / 92kg I know im carrying extra ballast... but its not horrendous.
Could do with shifting upwards of 5kg or so..
Yes fully agree a quick satisfying snack is pleasurable, but generally I eat well... just probably too much
I cycle a lot and have recently started running too as a "can I do it challenge?"
So fitness isnt the main issue its just simple maths..
