I lost 70 lbs and I don’t feel any better

People said I would have more energy, sleep better, feel happier, bike better, and have more concentration. None of that happened. I am close to ideal weight now but feel the same as I did 3 years ago when I was obese. I know I’m healthier. No more sleep apnea or pre-diabetes. But do I feel it? No. I am just as tired and just as dazed. The only possible exception is that it’s easier to ride my bike uphill. Maybe it’s because it happened slowly. Maybe it’s because those effects are overrated.

If you're sleeping well, maybe look at your diet. Are you drinking enough water? Are you eating enough of the right foods slow release carbs, watching your sugar so you don't get a sudden spike and then a crash that makes you tired. Are you getting healthy fats and protein, magnesium and calcium? If you're doing all that, maybe time to go and get the doc to check your blood 😊
