Now i'm struggling, not interested in it. Right now I barely care about building more muscle, like i've lost interest in that too. But the strange thing is i'm feeling pretty good about myself right now too.
I can't let it go completely because of where I started with my weight, and that is the main thing that is disturbing me. Plus the thought that some of my attractiveness is my muscle and the shape i'm in.
I'm not really sure what to do with this and it's a little disturbing for me.
It sounds like you derived a chunk of self worth and validation, confidence etc. from looking good physically and how others would treat you because of your physique. So, when E2 removes all of that, and builds in healthy self worth and confidence and self validation now, you feel a lack of motivation to go to the gym. So now, you'll need a healthier, more "it's for ME" attitude and habit.
It's a big sign of progress to me, mate. BIG sign.
EDIT: Could also be the all too familiar lethargy resistance phenomenon. Either way, push forward!
