Concerts are making me lose weight.

I know the title sounds a bit weird, but let me explain.
I’ve been to around 15 concerts since I’ve started trying to lose weight around 2 years ago. There are some patterns that are impossible for me to ignore at this point.

I genuinely love going to concerts. They make me feel a sense of purpose and joy that I cannot find elsewhere.

That being said, I’ve noticed that after a concert, for the next week or two, my cravings disappear, my appetite is lower and i genuinely feel satisfied from smaller/ regular sized portions. I know it sounds ridiculous, but it happens to me after every single concert I go to.

Unfortunately it doesn’t last longer than 1/2 weeks and then I go back to my old ways.

I recently read something about how food releases a lot dopamine, so that’s why a lot of people get addicted and struggle with stuff like binging. I think that’s the reason why this is happening. Concerts probably release a lot of dopamine for me, so then I don’t search for that hit from food (which is something I’ve been doing every since I can remember)

Does anyone else have a similar experience? Or any thoughts they have to share??? Or maybe an idea on how I can keep that feeling going??
