I think your "work" to relieve your digestive discomfort and not be so hungry/weigh a proper amount, etc. is valid. However, it is not anything very exciting so I don't think the "surface"/apathy model works well for it? All the things you mentioned don't sound all that earth shatteringly interesting? I do not think you are apathetic toward yourself so much as just kind of waiting for something to jump out at you and interest you. However, that rarely has worked for me, I have to be out exploring new territory to get something to do that.

When I was first investigating losing weight and eating healthier, I got into nutrition and the "game" of trying to balance the number of calories I wanted with the optimum nutrition. For example, someone my size should have about 60 grams protein a day but protein is caloric. We have all these idiot foods that are adding calcium to our diet but not magnesium and the calcium magnesium ratio is extremely important and delicate. Delicious Living Blog I found really good sources of dietary information: The World's Healthiest Foods and had a ball just playing and learning.

See if you can awaken your curiosity. When you wonder something, follow it up (unless you have something better to do :-) and maybe you will find an interest that will grab you further?
