How do you find that your emotional or mental health shifts during the winter? And how does that impact your motivation or health choices? Yeah, it definitely impacts my mental well-being. I feel much more demotivated to do anything, it takes a lot more energy to do something because you're so demotivated. And what is the second part of the question? Sorry. Well, do you find that your emotional or mental health shifts during winter? And how does that impact your motivation or health choices? Yeah, so in terms of health choices, I think you're trying to eat more comfort food, you know, because it's so cold outside, so trying to eat more comfort food, which is not always that healthy. So it could be things like chocolate, or desserts and things like that, you know, more your body feels wants more sugar. And it's not always the healthiest of choices that you make. So, you want to eat more carbs and more starchy stuff. So, I feel like the weather influences your mental health, which then influences your healthy choices as well. So, you don't want to be as physically active, you don't want to eat as healthy, and you tend to make choices which are more unhealthy.
