Basically this. I was a frat bro (although my school had non-traditional frat setup), partied all weekend, almost every weekend.
I was constantly on the move; soccer club, sailing club, longboarding, and just generally always on the move. Food was fuel so I could stop being hungry and do something else.
Being lean, light gym time each weak made it easy to look good.
Hit my 20s, worked in a lab; I still moved around a lot during the day, but not as much. I gained some weight, but not a lot.
Covid hit, I went from moving around a lab all day to 100% computer work desk job.
I got fat almost instantly. I ate more, without the constant "exercise" my mind just wanted me to eat all the shitty food I could.
I started in the gym again, and for whatever reason exercise completely changed my food-relationship; when I'm working out regularly, I just want to hit my macros, but when I'm not, I struggle not to eat like shit. It's a noticeable shift in what the brain wants.
