Here I thought it was just me. I usually keep the heat a bit low to conserve oil and save money. Not this year, I'm freezing! I also think I need to invest in winter underwear. I'm glad spring is coming.1

Do you eventually stop feeling so cold?
@SoHowLongIsThisGonnaTake
Yes.
Feeling cold seems to be a part of adaptive thermogenesis which does correct itself when you are maintaining for a time.
Similar to people's NEAT often also gets surpressed while dieting and returns to normal when the restriction ends.
If you are maintaining and feeling cold and lethargic/low energy it could be worthwhile experimenting with bumping your calories up a little. You might be surprised that you can maintain weight on a higher allowance.
QFT. Being cold can be more a matter of down-regulation, not so much about "insulation" IME.1
