How do I know when to refill my paper clips?

They sell knockoff sonicares for $30 on Amazon by a brand called Dnsly. My dentist said they’re just as good as the pricey ones. She recommends them as you’re more likely to change the brush head out when they’re super cheap to replace than on a more expensive brush. You get 7/$8 brush heads compared to 4/$40.

Yes! Drink a huge glass of water before you eat any meal, you’ll get full faster, with less food so you’ll lose weight.

That actually makes no sense. There is very rarely instructions in job postings telling you not to contact them. And your app isn’t “going around the system” they still have to view it, you are simply messaging them letting them know you are interested in their position. I think you might not have a good grasp on how it works.

Take up cooking as a hobby. Even if you start with a meal company like hello fresh or home chef etc. Or look at recipe sites like allrecipes (there's lots of them). Then, portion control. I've found that using a smaller plate and never going back for seconds reduces how much I consume. Your brain knows how hungry you truly are. Then chew slowly. Enjoy every bite. You will then recognize that you are full and it helps prevent overeating. Look around you. Excluding teenagers, how many thin people do you see scarfing down food? Slow down, the foods not going anywhere. Add fresh produce to every meal. You will feel much better because of the fiber and nutrients. Pretty soon, you will actually crave veggies. Drink water. A lot of people overeat because they are dehydrated. Good luck on your diet-controlled journey!

This is not true at all and horrible advice. Have you ever heard of fibromyalgia? For years and even now, doctors have told people nothing is wrong with them and that it’s in their head. This goes for numerous other illnesses including cancer. Trust your body, go to as many doctors as you need, advocate for yourself. To tell people “oh it’s just anxiety” is the worst advice ever.

As someone who has been suffering from a debilitating degenerative illness for 6 years this is so important. It’s taken me 6 years to find a compassionate doctor that has finally prescribed me a medication to help my symptoms. You must advocate for yourself.

That's tough. What industry? (and how much travel really?

If that much travel is required, I'm curious because that implies that being shorthanded could be costly.

Pay more and aim 10+ years older, is my "first peek" thought.

My second would be "hire double (and combine with other roles?) and cut travel in half"

But I'm just a stranger who likes juggling logistical/personnel problems as mental exercises.

I go through patterns of this, as well. Here are a few tips:

Exercise. This tempers your cravings in 2 ways. First, there is a physical, chemical response that lowers the urge to eat until over full. Also, with time, there will be a psychological effect: you don't want to let that hard work go to, waste. For me, steady state cardio (walking, swimming or running) works better than strength training in this regard, although I enjoy the latter more. Iff you can exercise shortly before the time when you overeat, that's ideal.

Clean up your diet. Take some weeks to get the sugars and unhealthy fats out of your diet. I know they're awesome, but cut them to once a week or something. Have you ever tried to overeat on leaves? As others said, always have a meal plan. Keep your meals healthy. The simplest advice I've heard in this regard is: count the steps of production in a food: the fewer the better. Raw veggies? Yes. Twinkies? No.

Eat slowly. Appreciate the food. The goal isn't to be bloated and groggy, it's to make the hunger go away.

Don't beat yourself up about building poor eating habits, and sometimes returning to them. We all do it, and the level of challenge is different for everyone. Some have incredibly strong chemical responses to food, which would have helped in our survival in food scarce times. So ignore people who say, "just eat less, bro." Know that this is your unique challenge, and you're the only one who can beat it. A day at a time.

This is very dependent on the employer. I’ve worked at places that will automatically trash any applications that “go around their system “ because they paid a lot of money for it and have to prove it’s value.

It also proves you can’t or won’t follow directions.

Call the HR department and ask first

"Aiming for your fl dream company" is a terrible idea in general.

"Dream companies" are usually the dream company of lots of people.

Know what that means?

Excess labor supply

It means you're probably going to be paid poorly, and your workload will probably be dramatically higher than your paycheque warrants, and your managers will not give one shit about you because they've had a thousands "passionate" new hires, and they just turn you all over to keep it cheap.

STOP GIVING FREE LABOR TO COMPANIES

Pick a couple of your favourite meals. Learn how to make it better and faster than restaurants.

You can take a cooking class or watch videos. I’d recommend starting by watching Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat on Netflix. My cooking has elevated to the point where going out to eat is frustrating and disappointing.

If you don’t know already, learn how to choose the best ingredients. Also get a proper knife and cookware to make cooking more enjoyable.

While you’re eating it slow down and think about how much better it tastes and that you’re proud of yourself for making it so quickly.

When you get the urge to go out to eat, think about how long it will take for you to actually eat vs just making it at home yourself. Think about the effort of going to the restaurant or mindlessly scrolling to find something on a delivery app.

You can swap out ingredients on these meals to create variety. My go-to meals are fish tacos and pasta with pan seared vegetables and an egg sunny side up

Additional tip: Clean up as you go

In between stirring or while your food is in the oven, put food away in the fridge, rinse and put things in the dishwasher, wipe down countertops. It makes waiting for your food to cook go by faster

A small hack that works pretty well for me is drinking a cup of water about 10 min before eating dinner.

I have a tendency to jojo after every successful diet. You probably already know, but (sorry): Stop eating out and put food under your complete control. Other than that:

Don't blame your lack of willpower, there is solid scientific evidence that the tendency to overeat is physiological. Accept it and congratulate yourself for every day you manage to win against your own treacherous body. It's much easier not to gain weight than to lose it, so look at any diet not as a temporary inconvenience but as a candidate "forever" lifestyle change.

Things that have worked for me: limiting my calorie window. I try to wait with the first calorie of the day as long as I can (most days that's 8am, some days I can go until 12) and then stop eating at 4pm. Promotes insulin resistance by creating a window for the body to get started on consuming stored energy instead of busily storing always available ingested calories.

Secondarily, portion control. I drink only tea and black coffee and treat anything else (occasional lattes) as a meal. I count calories. It's tough at the beginning, but once you have done the math on your go-to meals, it becomes much easier. I allow myself anything up to 1200 kcal and then put the brakes on, with the aim to stay under 1800 a day. That's surprisingly little (I find that almost anything I eat comes out to around 600 in practice), but after getting through the initial change, it works. The thing to realize is that calories in/out really matters, but the empowering part of that is that you can actually eat whatever you like as long as you control the total.

Third: supplementation. Contentious, but here's what works for me: I take 1g NAC, 2g physellium husk and 2g Citrulline in pill form; NAC in the morning, and 1g psyllium and Citrulline after every meal. It works to keep my cravings under control, and these substances are typically available in food, I am just upping the concentration to simulate fullness and high protein meals promoting satiation.

Drink a big glass of water before eating anything. You will feel full way sooner and have leftovers for later.

It is wonderful working for a federal job with a union. Have the full deserved right to not take any crap from "superiors".

ok, so you have realized and admitted that over eating makes you feel like crap. great, what's next?

let me ask you why do we eat at all in the first place. the answer is that we eat in order to feel good. it doesn't feel good to be hungry. it doesn't feel good to be malnourished. it feels good to eat.

but you've now recognized that it doesn't feel good to eat too much. let's add that it also doesn't feel good to eat certain things. greasy food doesn't feel good. maybe a big ol milkshake doesn't feel good.

with this limited knowledge you can now start taking control. think about what foods feel bad, what foods feel bad in excess, and what foods don't feel bad, what foods actually feel good.

now, when you're thinking about your next meal don't think about flavor first, think about what will make you feel good after you've finished eating. flavor comes after this. a big ol greasy cheese burger tastes great, but doesn't feel great after. how about a smaller cheese burger? out how about a falafel?

keep this up and build it into a habit. when we get stressed we fall back on our habits. if you build healthy thinking into a habit then when you get stressed you'll eat healthy and you'll feel better.

this will take time. but quitting isn't going to get you there any faster.

I can definitely relate. I’ve yet to conquer this but I have found that using calorie counting apps help even if you only use it for a while it’ll give you a gauge of what you’re eating. I have no citation but studies show that people who weigh themselves regularly/daily tend to lose or maintain weight more consistently. Most of what you read is obvious - it’s more about taking one small step at a time. Drastic changes are too difficult to maintain. Lastly, hitting the gym in the morning is my greatest source of inspiration to eat clean the rest of the day.

Tracking the food you eat might help. If you commit yourself to taking a photo and writing a brief description of everything you eat (every meal, every second helping, every quick bite during prep, every snack) and sending it to someone, the resistance that generates will often be enough of a pause to get past the urge. You might alternatively start this with just your
dinner if that’s the biggest problem.

But you have to be honest about it and not omit food from the tracking.

Do you have any advice for when to know to replace the dial on the phone?

How about when to change the ink on the fax machine.

Or when to change the batteries in my pager.

Eat a lot of fatty and fibrous foods. Avacado, cheese, fatty beef, pork and fish, bacon, eggs, leafy greens, butter, heavy cream fruits (not fruit juice) and vegetables.

The fat and fiber in these foods trigger hormone releases that will make you feel full and satiated.

Empty calories like bread, soda, candy, pasta, rice, fruit juice, potatoes trigger hormone releases that will cause you to never be full and satiated.

You didn't. I wrote my comment that way because it was sorta to probe your brain I guess. In my first comment I was asking why it matters. And in the second I was pointing that people can still have the knowledge and it can be weird if you are are just saying she's dumb. You replied I said we were cool. So I'm sorry if I said something upsetting. I guess it was being accusatory, so it makes sense why it could be. I'm not really triggered. The comment was vague, and it's not unheard of for people to think doing onlyfans or whatever = dumb.

My understanding of wisdom is the definition you used? I didn't add anything to it. I talked about knowledge being an aspect of wisdom and I pointed out your definition literally said knowledge as well?
