Hell yeah! Stick with it, it gets easier as it becomes more routine. And don't get disheartened if you slip, just keep on truckin.
One of the things that helped me in the past was telling myself that the junk foods will still be there when I reach my goals. I don't need to eat them now just because they are there.
I imagine reddit won't fall. But honestly, Kbin reminds me of the early days of reddit. I stopped posting all together years ago because the reddit climate just changed so much. I hope Kbin does well. I requested a reg code for Tildes too, but I don't think it has the right environment.
That's awesome, and I imagine a very scary time as well. Mine is 13 now and experiencing so many things, but she's getting to the point where I have to let her start making her own choices and learning her own consequences.
Hope he does well wherever he is going. Try not to worry too much :)
Good luck! It's a very liberating and scary experience. Don't really have much advice other than make sure you have some capital put away somewhere in case emergencies come up.
I worked in healthcare for about a decade (IT, not patient care) but I can definitely say find a place with a good vibe. All the nursing staff I worked with were very passionate and it was always such a wonderful sight to see.
Got diagnosed when I was in 2ng grade, though it seems to have calmed down quite a bit in my older (35) age. Good luck out there, adult friendships are hard to create and even harder to maintain. I'm definitely more on the introvert side and find myself inside probably more than I should be. Online friends still count in my book though. Feel free to hit me up whenever and I will try to get back whenever I can.
Yeah never underestimate a good night's sleep. Good luck with it all. My brother just self published his first novel after mildly pursuing a writing career for years. It's been on amazon now for a month or so and is already gaining quite a bit of traction.
Don't ever give up on it
You'll have to forgive a lot of my ignorance around this topic, but I hope it all goes well for you and you find your happiness at the end of that road.
I think and ideal world would be like a video game character creation menu that you could just access and make changes at will. But I guess that would also take the fun out of the randomness of life. Good luck on your journey!
I tried to learn python once. I followed the book and made a script that would tell you if the minute was odd or even. "This minute seems a little odd". It was fun, but way beyond my ADHD brain's focus constraints.
I do IT for a living and I know that's where all the money is, but I would never be successful. Hope it works out for you!
Yeah absolutely. I think it's just human nature to focus so wholly on the goal, that we disregard the journey. Diets can be extremely challenging because you can't just quit cold turkey. It's a journey of learning new eating habits and shopping habits, learning to cook better, understanding ingredients and how nutrition effects your body.
I'm really good about exercising and working out. Starting to get kinda jacked again even. But my diet has just never been there. I eat more junk food than I should, but I also eat a lot of healthy stuff. Not a picky eater at all. I just really like cheetos lol.
I did have a six pack at one point, I was quite happy with my body. But it just wasn't sustainable because I like cheeseburgers too much. I had to find the balance of looking how I want, having a positive opinion of my self, and enjoying the food that I like without over eating, but not cutting out those easy serotonin booster snacks. I envy those that can do it without having to put that much thought into it.
I'm 6"2' and about 220 now, slowly working my gut down and pretty happy with myself overall, but I did consume a lot of doritos about an hour ago. Oh well, I'll go the gym tomorrow morning and try to stay on track after.
Yeah I really like the environment so far. It's growing quite fast and it has me a little nervous. But reddit has just lost all that made it so great before. I just find myself mindlessly scrolling through shit posts trying to find something that interests me, only to see the comment section full of elementary humor and repetitive dead horse jokes. They have their place, I guess, but not in every single comment section.
