    I went to a community folk dance and fell in love, then started dancing for fourteen hours a week. I went from a BMI of 25.5 to 19 and lost forty pounds within four months, at which point I started to worry and eat to bulk up, but I literally could not eat enough food to gain weight back.

    Then the pandemic hit and I gained a lot of weight the first month, until I adjusted my diet. I don’t dance anymore as a negative side effect of my very positive international move, but I do now get enough exercise to relatively easily adjust my food intake to gain, maintain, or lose weight when I want.
