I was a fat kid. I suspect what changed was I started, consciously, pursuing things that I was afraid. I had a stutter, so simply forcing myself into public speaking situations terrified me. Once I managed to get my stutter better handled, I found I was losing a lot of weight from a stressful appetite loss. Wanted to lose more weight, I pursued more things that frightened me, and again I experienced stressed appetite loss, and weight loss.
Today, decades later, I still pursue things that trigger stressful appetite loss, but that has become the opposite issue. I'm thin, but addicted to pursuing intellectual goals that are frighteningly difficult. I often have to force myself to eat.
