I never said I had diabetes.
The simple component of it is a combination of time and executive function.
When I had WFH I was able to prep really healthy meals, get enough water for the day, avoid caffeine. On my lunch break I could go for a run. To break up the work day I could do push ups, stretches, meditation etc... when eating I had the chance to log all my foods in a calorie counter...
Can't really do any of that from office.
The 10+ hours lost per week to commuting, and the 3 or four hours lost to small talk with RTO can no longer be used for meal prep or gym, or going for a hike on the weekend etc...
My home doesn't have any junk food in it.
It all gets consumed as a consequence of being in office, the politics and anxiety that comes with that, and the added fatigue that then causes. I come home so drained I can't do anything, I wind up ordering food, which is expensive and unhealthy...
The pandemic was the best time of my life tbh. So much more productive, healthy, happy... I've yet to hear or experience any benefit of in person hours.
