And how is this supposed to be useful? Does it matter if your dairy was from plant X or Y?

Thanks for the input. I don’t think it’s emotional more so the dopamine high of eating a ton of food, but I’ll definitely consider produce

At what point did I say this person is dumb. At what point did I show prejudice towards this persons only fans career. You are continually making negative assumptions about my tone that others are no inferring. Take a moment to reflect on why it is that you are so easy to trigger. Nor do I agree with your understanding of the word wisdom

I work in background checks. Customer service for the businesses who use the service.

My dream company treated me like shit too. They changed my role there 3 times in less than a year and I was part of the layoffs they did the year after I started.

Why are you acting like I’m advising you to do this. It’s clearly not the right way. Yes I wish I had my life together enough to do that, but I don’t

It’s interesting, and I’m coming from hospitality, so it scares me sometimes.
Basically, as long as my time off is granted, I get paid for it. I don’t have any set limit of 2 weeks per year or anything. Taking days off is encouraged. My boss told me recently that I wasn’t taking enough time off, so I took this week off. It’s really taking me some time to trust the system, but it’s absolutely wonderful

Again, why? Empty the dishwasher when they’re clean, and then put your dirty dishes in the dishwasher as you use them. Keeps the sink clear, cuts down on work, and keeps dirty dishes out of sight and smell range.
The way you do it sounds really lazy and backwards.

You could try meal prepping, I have a friend who hates cooking but also doesn’t like eating unhealthy so he will just cook every 3-4 days for the week.
I cook for two every night and I always make enough for our lunches the next day as well. Eliminates having to plan out a second meal everyday while still being able to eat well.
On a side note of over eating, lately I have been cutting my chicken breasts in half because the are ridiculously large at the grocery store in my area lately. But I have not been getting hungry at night after making this change for some reason. Could be an option if you are looking to reduce calorie intake

Spill…into the dishwasher? Oh no, what a tragedy.
Why does it matter if a pod melts? It’s designed to melt. I really don’t understand what you are struggling with here. None of what you listed is a negative outcome.
I’ve been doing this for a decade and never had any issues.
And no, you can’t always tell by looking at them. Lots of dishes aren’t visibly dirty after using them. And why would I I go root around in the dishwasher looking at every dish (and still running the risk of putting away dirty dishes or adding a dirty dish to clean ones) when I could just glance at the detergent reservoir?
This takes no more time than not doing it, and gives you a 100% reliable way of knowing if dishes are dirty.

Create plans for food you make on your own. Think of ingredients that are versatile so you can get multiple meals out of them. Prep things ahead of times when possible. Veggies fill you without making you feel terrible. Smoothies can be fulfilling and still better than fast food, although you don’t wanna get dependent on them imo.
Have a few healthy snacks on hand, but be aware that you’re gonna feel hungry at first - you have to be stronger than your stomach’s urge, it doesn’t know any better. Ultimately, you are the one that controls what/how much/when you eat. Take responsibility.
Drinking water can also help you feel full.

Reply to LPT: clean your stovetop after using the oven. The heat loosens grime for easy removal by Cando232
Better yet, clean your stove top right after doing the dishes. The warm, soapy water works very well and cleaning the stove top daily will make clean up a breeze.

Uhh yeah what I'm saying was never about whether it was copy and paste or not. I said that in the beginning that it was, and that's not really a counter to my point. I'm saying it's just a little sus to be like saying people are dumb because of something they do. I mean I get maybe you are saying you are surprised that she knows this due to age and what is the only profession of hers we know of. And that's why I was writing it like saying it kinda sounds like you were calling her dumb or that you can't be wise and have an onlyfans, but from this I think you are just saying it's from age and work. Not that she's dumb. So we cool.
Also that's a list. Knowledge is included. What's written first doesn't even matter.

Do you live alone? If more than one person runs the dishwasher in your house, then you have to go off of how the dishes look. Many dishes don’t look visibly dirty after using them. You can root around in there, looking at them all, and hope that you make the right judgement call (otherwise you’re putting away dirty dishes or adding a dirty dish to the clean dishes) or you can just glance at the detergent reservoir and know that closed=dirty and open=clean. It takes no more time than any other way of doing the dishes because you still have to fill up the detergent at some point.

Shops are evil in the way they sell irresistible death foodstuffs by the checkout. Get away from shops/food/adverts by getting a cool hobby in the great outdoors. ie long walks listening to podcasts etc. Come back hours later, feeling fulfilled, happy healthy. The less one eats in a day, the less hungry you become. Also less sugar in diet means less hungry too (sugar crash makes for stronger hunger). I have a terrible sweet tooth, but that goes away after about a week or so of abstaining.

Is there an emotional component? If you're not sure, maybe explore that. Are you eating enough during the day? I usually make lunch my main meal of the day and go light for dinner. Also, if you're crazy hungry at night, you could fill up on produce. It will be a bit easier on your digestive system.
I know there are support groups out there to help. I hope you get some good feedback for your post.

Eating fast food too often is a sure fire way to ruin your health. Try eating more fruit and veg at home. You can eat all you want. You can make large, filling salads that will make you feel great. Also, you could try apple cider vinegar -- it will suppress your appetite.

Find something you might really obsess over and and want to get, like a PlayStation 5. Commit to losing 15 lbs in 3 months and if you can do it, get yourself the PlayStation 5. Let someone close to you know about your plans to keep you accountable.
Then note that eating out is really expensive— there’s the added costs to the meals themselves plus tips/delivery fees.
See how much you would actually save by getting food from Costco and cooking at home. Or even taking advantage of their cheap rotisserie chicken/food court hotdog costs. Then use what you save towards your obsession.
