Emotion control after FIRE

[brett]

We changed our lifestyle and diet post retirement. It improved our life.

We lost weight. Every winter we were spending 20-24 hrs on a plane to Thailand. Could not do that easily if we were overweight so we got back to our recommended weight. Lots of exercise-walking and hiking.

We changed our diet completely. No fast food. Very, very little fried food. Less red meat, more seafood. Less sugar. Almost no prepared foods. Lots of fresh fruit, salads...but without the goopy dressings.

These small changes, plus the absence of the usual stresses and travel in my previous work life, made us both feel so much better and I believe made us have a more positive attitude.

No been the opposite for me.....
BUT way back in 2003-2004 I was kind of like u described
except I didn't realize it was me....

Had a physical and had 150 fasting BS among other things
It's amazing what that did to my life (or how I reacted to it)
Not a doctor but I would start with a physical and go from there

good luck hope everything works out for u
