Yeah my immediate thought was that OP hasn't ever gone minimalist camping. Les Stroud would be disappointed.

One thing the experts say is that to successfully rid oneself of a habit or behavior, it should be replaced with another, but a healthy one this time. Nature abhors a void, they say.

You certainly have to check the critical gear before a "survival" hike. But your problems have simple solutions.

• Keep tent poles and stakes in the same bag as the tent.

• Use a foam pad instead of inflatable mattress. It is more bulk, but it will weigh less than mattress and pump, and it does not get punctured.

PS: your first camping trips should be with a group of experienced people, or to a campground with other people. Also, start camping during summer, then add relevant gear as weather cools down.

Learn to cook, & read while you eat

Make a packed lunch! Started doing this and its crazy how much money i save now compared to last year! Definitely in more control about how much i eat now as I control what i make. Even if im only going out for a few hours I’ll bring a bottle of water and a little snack pot of grapes and im often fine till im home

Also good to act like your broke then you realise how much money you spend

I don’t know. Most people talk about “overeating” to try to help with weight loss. You have the opposite problem. Have you talked to your doctor? Or a nutritionist?

Bro I’m 6’4 170 I’m a bean pole. The issue is forging myself to the point where I feel sick

Best shot, say something weird. System recognizes that you're trying to say something and will verify a bunch of times and then get you to someone. Pressing random buttons or staying silent is more likely to result in disconnect or etc because it has been engineered to do that to discourage people trying to skip the line.

There is plenty of evidence out there that carb heavy diets (the “low fat” stuff we were all trained to lean on for “health”) have the opposite of the intended effect. Leaning heavily on fruit and veg is a no-no, too - you’ll never feel satisfied. Fat is what tricks the brain into thinking we’re satisfied due to the hormones that are released. Not deep-fried fat, but fat found naturally in foods.

I’m sure the intent isn’t to gorge on bacon all day while drinking heavy cream by the pint. But focusing on the combination of protein, fiber and healthy fat is the key. Fat should not be avoided entirely - in fact, it’s the fat in milk that helps us absorb calcium, so skim milk and fat-free yogurt are basically garbage, but they were touted for decades as the way to go.

When eating out, I always pack up half of it and then just eat half of whatever I ordered.

For sure, thats why i said its not always a trap

Good tip. But WhatsApp now has a message yourself feature.

Edit: link

So wait. Are you overweight or no? If not, then the real issue is just you feeling bad after you eat? Maybe spread your intake out over the day more, so your stomach doesn’t get as bloated all at once?

my company has unlimited pto and i have taken 3 weeks off no problem, 4 weeks wouldnt be a problem either i feel. and we get lots of holidays and 10 wellness days per year.

i work in software, and the only job i really disliked was where i worked on a product i was actually interested in (k-12 ed software). much more interesting projects where i worked at semi-crooked banks doing boring financial software. Most software problems aren't industry-related, it's all the same CRUD stuff.

Depends, I use it to quickly get some info from pc to phone or vice versa. WhatsApp is basically always open and doesn't require me to use another application.

And I think that if what makes this useful for you or not. If you already use it, ir could help. If you don't, there are indeed better options.

Facebook kills the quality through compression month after month

Honestly half the issue is that I have the metabolism of a god and can eat whatever I want without repercussions. Im 30 and it hasn’t slowed down like people said it would

Don't most phones have a notes app? I know pixels do at the very least.

Google docs and private discord channels/servers also work.

I've worked for stressful organizations that put me in stressful, often dangerous situations without a lick of support or care, and now I'm at a place that offered me a paid day off after a similar stressful situation happened; one that all the previous company's wouldn't have cared about.

I didn't feel the need to take time off, partly due to the previous trauma making me sort of numb to it, but my boss insisted. When came back, I was inundated with emails and messages from people checking in on me. It's a strange feeling when all you've known before is apathy.

This is a great place to start, it's so common for us to be super avoidant and not really notice or feel the reality of how much we're really eating. Having a no-judgement week or 2 of just documenting and calculating how many calories we're taking in vs how much is actually needed to run our bodies has really snapped me into reality.
