I miss the different mindset I had when I was younger

I vividly remember borrowing a book from my grandma. It was about fasting and super healthy eating and I remember thinking: this absolutely changed my life! I read it and I was obsessed with eating clean to the point when I physically couldn't put a piece of chocolate in my mouth because I was convinced sugar was so bad for me.

Well, this lead to an eating disorder and I'm not looking to reactivate that again, but damn I miss how committed I was and how much I gave myself to any health and weight loss projects. Like I read fasting is good for you? I started fasting and did that for weeks.

I feel like in my thirties I just don't give a damn and my comfort always comes first. I'm so motivated, then I make bad choices, feel bad in the evening, promise myself I'll do better in the morning, wake up motivated and so on.

Does this make any sense? Sometimes I wish I had a smidgen of the unconditional motivation or absoluteness that I had when I was a teen.
