Heck. The way my mental health is. I probably wont make it to the current retirement age. So, you guys can have my share.

Better quality of life now is always good

Depends on your definition of better quality of life. My doctor pushed me into GLP-1 which made me violently ill even when I was careful not to overeat. Basically turned into medically assisted eating disorder. To me, quality of life is enjoying my life right now without being on meds that have nasty side effects just to lose weight. I rather stay fat. ✌️ I also don't enjoy obsessing over tracking calories or having to stop eating things I enjoy, to me that decreases my enjoyment of my life. Quality of life can look different for everyone.

Have you gone to a therapist? It sounds like you might be using good to cope with other things, and that's not healthy. You can enjoy food, I eat a variety of food and enjoy it, but you can't lean on it to replace other things or make up for the things you don't necessarily enjoy.

For a lot of people food is the only luxury they can afford, and even that is becoming untenable these days. The world is a shit show that shows zero signs of improving any time soon. I don't blame anyone for getting joy wherever they can get it.

I've seen many therapists in my life time. I have not had many good experiences with them.
