And at the risk of going too far off topic, I also think it’s worth noting that happiness is not necessarily the state of euphoria we expect – and hope – it to be, but rather the absence of unhappiness. I found myself happier when I stopped thinking of happiness as euphoria or joy – of having incredible experiences and racking up achievements – and more like contentment: if there are no immediate concerns or stresses, I’m probably happy.

Being thin, or having the ‘perfect body’, was never going to bring me true, lasting contentment. This is backed up by social psychology, which highlights that beauty is not a strong predictor of lasting overall happiness or life satisfaction; it merely offers a temporary reprieve from diet culture-induced dissatisfaction with our bodies. Instead, research consistently reveals that the single biggest predictor of lasting human happiness is in the relationships and connections that we make in our life.32
