My preferences and tolerances have changed significantly over time, especially after experiencing discomfort or pain beyond a certain threshold.
When the summer I enjoyed started to cause me pain and discomfort, my perception and feelings about it changed.
After repeatedly experiencing extreme heat and finding it increasingly unbearable, my brain began to associate heat with discomfort rather than pleasure, leading to a shift in my preferences.
๐ต๐ป I believe these changes in preference are part of my survival instinct.
๐ง In fact, my shift in heat tolerance is largely due to weight gain, which has played a significant role.
๐ It's possible that my weight gain has affected my tolerance for heat.
I think when I was underweight, with a BMI below 18, my body likely had less insulation in the form of fat, which made me more sensitive to cold and less affected by heat.
As I gained weight, my body developed more fat tissue, which acts as an insulator.
This could make me feel hotter since my body retained more heat.
Additionally, weight gain sometimes led to other changes in my body that influenced how I perceived temperature.
๐ง I also think other factors, like increased humidity due to climate change (moving closer to the coast), have played a role in how I experience heat now compared to before.
I'm upset that I've lost the pleasant memories of 'heat' and 'summer' that I cherished.
I was born in the middle of summer โ๏ธ, and I was the one who eagerly awaited summer's arrival during winter, hoping that summer would never end once it began.
Now,
My weight has since returned to a lower level,
but I worry about whether my brain will be able to regain the joy I found in the past summer.
I was really a ๐๐ด๐๐๐๐ ๐๐แ๐๐ ! ๐
